Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these brakes suitable for daily driving?

While highly capable on the street, the Apollo kit is optimized for fast road and track use. Users should expect a more aggressive feel than OEM components.

Do I need to change my wheels?

You may need to if your current wheels do not provide sufficient clearance for the larger Apollo calipers. Always check the template provided by EBC.

How long do the YellowStuff pads last?

Pad life is heavily dependent on driving style. Track use will significantly increase wear compared to street driving.

Can I use standard DOT 4 fluid?

It is highly recommended to use the included EBC BF307 fluid as it is specifically formulated for the high-temperature requirements of this kit.

What is the benefit of a floating rotor?

A floating rotor allows the disc to expand under high heat without distorting, which helps prevent vibration and brake fade.

Troubleshooting

Excessive brake squeal

Ensure proper bedding-in procedures were followed. Apply high-temperature anti-squeal compound to the back of the pads if noise persists.

Spongy pedal feel after installation

Air may be trapped in the lines. Perform a thorough manual or pressure bleed of the brake system using fresh EBC BF307 fluid.

Vibration during braking

Check that the rotor hats are mounted securely to the hub and that there is no debris between the wheel and the disc mounting surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly improved stopping power compared to stock systems
Excellent heat dissipation due to two-piece floating disc design
Enhanced pedal feel via included stainless steel lines
High-fade resistance suitable for track use
Durable, corrosion-resistant caliper coating

Cons

Professional installation highly recommended for safety
May require specific wheel clearance due to larger caliper size
Increased maintenance intervals compared to standard street brakes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Apollo Big Brake Kit should be performed by a qualified technician, as it involves critical components of the vehicle's safety system. Compatibility depends on the specific hub and wheel offset of your vehicle; ensure sufficient clearance exists behind your wheel spokes to accommodate the larger Apollo calipers before purchase. Regarding care, regularly inspect the brake fluid levels and the condition of the YellowStuff pads. Because these are high-performance parts, keep the brake system clean of dust and debris, and always use the included EBC BF307 fluid to maintain optimal hydraulic pressure and boiling point performance.
