Give your BRZ or 86 braking that complements the chassis
A car built around balance deserves brakes with clear, predictable feedback. The EBC Apollo BBK031 brings four-piston front calipers and 330 mm floating discs to the listed BRZ, GT86 and GR86 applications. It is a substantial front brake upgrade for a firmer, more responsive pedal, with the different original brake arrangements kept visible below.
Kit reference: BBK031. Exact SKUs for every available configuration are listed below.
More confidence without losing sight of the driving experience
The reinforced aluminium caliper body helps resist flex under braking pressure, while the fully floating disc ring can expand independently as it heats up. Those details support the precision you value in a car like this. The application list also retains the solid-versus-vented rear brake distinctions, so the choice stays tied to the whole vehicle rather than just the size of the new front discs.
Calipers made for the way you use your car
The road calipers are designed, manufactured and assembled in the UK from heat-treated, low-pressure cast aluminium. Their two-piece bodies use grade 12.9 bridge bolts, with hard-anodised aluminium pistons, stainless-steel bleed nipples and wear plates. The material and construction put substance behind the appearance of the upgrade.
External dust boots keep road dirt and debris away from the pistons, with high-temperature EPDM fluid seals behind them. A hard-anodised body gives corrosion protection beneath the high-temperature colour coating, while the single pad-retention bolt allows quick pad changes when servicing is due.
Choose your kit
This BBK031 offer uses 330 mm front discs and 4-piston calipers. Match the vehicle and original brake details below, then check the exact wheel-clearance template before selecting the caliper configuration.
Black, Blue, Red and Yellow are the painted road-caliper choices, with external dust boots and aluminium pistons. Choose the finish you want to see behind your wheels without changing the kit specification for that version.
Race competition is a different hardware and pad specification: hard-anodised calipers, stainless-steel castellated pistons and RP-X race pads. It is intended for dedicated track and race use, rather than chosen as another paint colour.
What is included
With the painted road configurations you receive:
- Two Apollo front calipers in the selected road colour
- Two fully floating two-piece front discs to the selected kit specification
- Front brake pads
- Stainless-steel braided brake lines
- Vehicle-specific mounting brackets and fitting hardware
- 1 litre of BF307+ Super DOT 4 brake fluid
The Race competition front brake assembly combines Apollo competition calipers, fully floating two-piece discs to the selected specification and RP-X race pads.

Vehicle fitment
Match your vehicle, engine, year and any brake-package notes in the table. Disc measurements in this fitment table describe the original brakes; the new kit dimensions are listed under Technical specifications and in the SKU table.
Application years can vary by engine and kit option; check the detailed rows for your vehicle.

Fitting and looking after your brakes
Have the kit fitted by a qualified brake specialist. The installation needs clean, sound mounting surfaces, the correct hardware and torques, proper bleeding, and clearance checks through steering and suspension movement. Dust-shield removal or modification can be part of fitting; keep any vehicle-specific instructions in the application table with the job.
The road kit is designed around the original master cylinder and rear brakes. If you have changed the master cylinder or rear brake arrangement separately, have your installer check compatibility and brake balance before ordering.
Follow the fitting instructions and the bedding procedure for the supplied pad compound before demanding full performance. When rear components are supplied, fit them as part of the intended brake upgrade. Inspect pad and disc condition regularly, especially during circuit use, and keep the hydraulic system in good condition.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the fitment table mention the rear brakes?
The original rear brake arrangement is part of matching the listed application. Keep the solid or vented rear-disc detail with your vehicle check, even though the new calipers and 330 mm floating discs go on the front.
How do I check wheel clearance?
Use the template for the exact kit version, printed at 100% scale, against the actual wheel. Wheel diameter alone does not establish spoke or caliper clearance. Send us your kit choice and wheel details if you need help arranging the check.
Why choose a floating disc?
The friction ring can expand independently of its mounting bell as it heats up. That reduces thermal stress during repeated braking and is one of the engineering differences behind a fully floating two-piece kit.
What changes when I choose Race competition?
You choose hard-anodised competition calipers, stainless-steel castellated pistons and RP-X race pads for dedicated circuit use. The painted road calipers use aluminium pistons and external dust boots. Use the exact SKU table to keep the chosen disc size and caliper configuration together.
What makes this different from changing pads and discs?
A big brake conversion includes new front calipers as well as the discs and pads. The reinforced Apollo calipers and fully floating two-piece discs change the front brake assembly itself, with the matching kit specification and fitting requirements shown above.
