This EBC Apollo Race competition kit combines six-piston front calipers with 355 mm fully floating discs and RP-X race pads. It is dedicated competition hardware for drivers who want more confident, repeatable braking as temperatures rise during track use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKit reference: BBK013.

The pistons help limit heat transfer towards the hydraulics, while the floating discs let the friction ring expand independently as it heats up. RP-X provides the high-friction race compound at the contact surface, making this a coherent circuit upgrade rather than a colour change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose your kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBBK013R-1FR combines 355 mm front discs with six-piston Race competition calipers and RP-X race pads.

BBK013R-1FR combines six-piston competition calipers, 355 mm floating front discs and RP-X race pads for dedicated circuit use. The hard-anodised calipers use stainless-steel castellated pistons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I check wheel clearance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose a floating disc?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this different from changing pads and discs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWant help choosing the right BBK013 configuration? \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eTalk to us about your vehicle, wheels and how you use it\u003c\/a\u003e, and we can help you choose the right brake upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImage shown is generic and may not reflect actual parts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EBC Brakes","offers":[{"title":"Race competition \/ Version 1 - 355 mm, 6 piston","offer_id":56375660511574,"sku":"BBK013R-1FR","price":2440.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/1849\/9926\/files\/ebc-bbk-race-generic-c9f1e5f25af8.webp?v=1793272263","url":"https:\/\/hooniesadrenaline.co.uk\/products\/ebc-big-brake-kit-bbk013","provider":"Hoonies Adrenaline","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
