EBC Brakes Front Right Side Black Apollo Series Brake Calipers

Upgrade your braking system with the EBC Brakes Front Right Side Black Apollo Series Brake Calipers, designed specifically for a range of vehicles including Audi, Fiat, Ford, Mini, Scion, Subaru, Toyota, and Volkswagen models from 2001 to 2021. These calipers are engineered for those who demand performance without sacrificing style.

Features That Stand Out

  • Durable Construction: Each aluminum caliper body is hard anodized and coated with a high-temperature Teflon polyester top coat in sleek black, ensuring longevity and a stunning look.
  • Advanced Coating Technology: Unlike typical powder-coated calipers, our unique coating system is derived from cookware technology, making it extremely durable and easy to clean while resisting cracking under extreme heat.
  • Enhanced Stiffness: The Apollo calipers feature a 2-piece bolted design reinforced with high tensile 12.9 grade steel bolts, resulting in improved caliper stiffness and a firmer pedal feel, especially during intense braking.
  • High-Performance Materials: Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings, these calipers provide superior strength and stiffness compared to conventional gravity-cast options.
  • Heat Management: The pistons are designed with a serrated nose to minimize heat transfer during heavy use, while high-temperature fluid seals enhance durability and reduce maintenance.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Featuring 100% stainless hardware, including hydraulic fittings and pad retention bolts, these calipers are built to last without the worry of corrosion.
  • Quick Pad Changes: The one-bolt pad retention system allows for fast and hassle-free brake pad changes.
  • Lightweight Design: With staggered-sized lightweight aluminum pistons, these calipers help eliminate uneven pad wear, ensuring consistent performance.

When upgrading your vehicle, you need to consider improving its braking system in order for you to have a more enjoyable driving experience.

Automotive Disc Brake Pads
The EBC Brakes warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship only. Warranty is for replacement of similar product or refund of purchase value only excluding all labour and ancillary charges such as vehicle towing, fitting, inconvenience, purchasing of other manufacturers products and is good for a period of twelve months from date of purchase or 10,000 miles of highway use. Proof of mileage will be required. Warranty is invalid if product is used for taxi/hire car, racing, rally, drifting, trackday experience driving, or any other form of competition. There is absolutely no warranty on any EBC product for race use. Warranty does not cover brake noise or normal wear and tear. Some brake pad systems cause pads to wear faster than others. Drivers/users must assess the performance and durability of EBC Brakes products themselves if any EBC product is to be used in racing.

Automotive Disc Brake Rotors
Warranty is for replacement of similar product or refund of purchase value only excluding all labour and ancillary charges such as vehicle towing, fitting, inconvenience, purchasing of other manufacturers products and is valid for a period of six months from date of purchase or 10,000 miles of highway use. Warranty is invalid if product is used for racing, rally, drifting, trackday experience driving, or any other form of competition. There is absolutely no warranty on any EBC product for race use. Drivers/users must assess the performance and durability of EBC Brakes products themselves if any EBC product is to be used in racing.

No warranty is offered for brake vibration suffered due to uneven rotor thickness wear after incorrect installation of brake rotors. It is commonly known in the brake rotor business that accurate mounting and checking of runout on brake rotors is paramount at installation and in spite of necessary warnings many mechanics still see fit to ignore this warning and make no effort whatsoever to check rotor runout. This leads to brake vibration in the 3-5,000 miles lifetime period and is not a warrantable condition. The solution for vibration at this stage is to have the rotors turned or replaced and to thoroughly clean the mounting flange on the vehicle and carefully check for runout before returning the vehicle to service use.

Motorcycle Street Bike Disc Brake Pads

Warranty is for replacement of similar product or refund of purchase value only excluding all labour and ancillary charges such as collection, fitting, inconvenience, purchasing of other manufacturers products and is good for a period of twelve months from date of purchase or 5,000 miles of highway use. Proof of mileage will be required. Warranty is invalid if product is used for taxi/hire car, racing, trackday experience riding, or any other form of competition.

The EBC rotor and pad is sold as a matched set and developed to work together, do not risk damaging your rotors with using a pad that may damage your new EBC rotor product.
