If you're looking to seriously up your braking game, the EBC Brakes Balanced Big Brake Kit is where it’s at. This kit isn't just about looks; it's about cutting down stopping distances whether you're cruising around town or pushing your limits on the track.

These calipers are crafted right in the UK, and they’re lightweight yet tough—made from aluminum with either 4 or 6 pistons depending on your setup. You can grab the whole Big Brake Kit or snag individual parts if you’re building something unique and need a specific fit.

What Makes These Calipers Stand Out:

  • They’ve got high-temperature fluid seals and full boot-type dust seals, keeping out all that nasty road grime and debris.
  • Lightweight hard-anodized aluminum pistons with serrated noses help keep heat from messing with your braking hydraulics.
  • Staggered piston sizes mean no more pad taper, which is a real win for consistent performance.
  • FEA optimized geometry gives you max stiffness without the weight—so you get the best of both worlds.
  • Corrosion resistance is top-notch thanks to the hard-anodized caliper body, meaning these calipers are built to last.
  • Every caliper is pressure tested to 2,500 psi, so you know they’re tough.
  • All stainless-steel hardware means you won’t have to worry about rust; these babies are durable.
  • Rapid pad changes are a breeze with a single pad retention bolt.
  • Uses standard pad shapes, so you have plenty of options when it comes to brake pads.
  • Choose between full dust boot seals for the street or inner piston dust seals for the track—whatever suits your style.
  • And yes, every single piece is designed, manufactured, and assembled in the UK.

Making the car stop fast is equally important as making it go fast. When upgrading your vehicle, you need to consider improving its braking system in order for you to have a more enjoyable driving experience. There are a lot of brake manufacturers out there in the market but only a few can really claim an actual performance gain and one of them is EBC.

How It Started

EBC was founded in 1978 and is known as one of the largest producers of brake components in the automotive industry. With its humble beginning starting in a single van, they are now a multinational company with facilities in the UK and the US and is the leader in the industry.

This allows them to cater to a wide range of customers whatever car you own, whenever you are in the world. The company even offers pads for the military such as their Humvee, armoured vehicles and tanks.

A Pad For Every Occasion

The company manufactures different types of brake pads depending on the required application. They manufacture sintered pads, aramid, ceramic and carbon brake pads. They also offer either steel or stainless rotors.

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.

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.

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.
