{"product":{"id":11424608158038,"title":"EBC Apollo Big Brake Kit for Ford Ranger, Ranger Raptor and VW Amarok | BBK048","body_html":"\u003ch2\u003eDrive your pickup with more confidence under braking\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your pickup carries equipment or has become the vehicle you take everywhere, brake feel deserves real attention. The EBC Apollo BBK048 upgrades the front of the listed Ranger, Ranger Raptor and Amarok applications with six-piston calipers, 355 x 32 mm floating discs and Bluestuff pads. It gives you a firmer, more responsive pedal and a substantial hardware upgrade to consider alongside the rest of your plans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKit reference: BBK048.

Bluestuff combines useful cold response with a higher-performance braking role, making the package relevant to the way a working or touring pickup is used. It upgrades braking hardware without changing the vehicle's permitted payload or towing limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCalipers made for road use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExternal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose your kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis BBK048 offer has six-piston front calipers, 355 x 32 mm discs and Black, Blue, Red or Yellow caliper configurations.

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\u003eDo the four caliper colours change the brake size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Black, Blue, Red and Yellow share the kit specification shown on this page.
