Stock brakes on the Focus ST MK3 were calibrated for daily commutes, not repeated hard stops at the limit. The EBC Racing BBK012RED-1 Red Apollo-4 Big Brake Kit replaces the entire front braking system with a 355mm rotor and four-piston caliper setup, then backs it up with matching rear friction pads and braided stainless lines front and rear for a fully balanced upgrade.
Balanced braking, not just bigger braking. Most big brake kits stop at the front axle, leaving a mismatched system that can upset brake bias under hard deceleration. EBC's Balanced Big Brake Kit philosophy pairs every front upgrade with rear Yellowstuff friction pads and braided lines at both ends, so pedal feel, bite, and fade resistance stay consistent across the entire vehicle.
Apollo-4 calipers built entirely in the United Kingdom. Each Apollo Series caliper is cast, machined, painted, and assembled in the UK. Caliper brackets and the brake disc bell are machined from aerospace-grade billet aluminum for high strength without excess mass. Every metal caliper fitting and disc drive bobbin uses stainless steel to resist corrosion over the long term, down to the bleed nipples.
EBC Yellowstuff pads included front and rear. Yellowstuff is EBC's flagship fast-street and track compound. High initial bite reduces stopping distances from the first press, and the compound resists fade through repeated hard stops, so performance stays consistent across a long track session or a spirited mountain road run.
Complete hardware included. Every kit ships with all hardware needed to fully replace the equivalent stock braking components. Braided stainless lines front and rear replace the OEM rubber hoses, reducing expansion under pressure for a firmer, more responsive pedal. No sourcing additional hardware or lines separately.
