Upgrade Your Stopping Power with EBC Brakes' Big Brake Kits (BBK)
When it comes to vehicle performance, power and speed are often in the spotlight. However, reliable stopping power is just as crucial, if not more so, especially for high-performance vehicles and spirited drivers. This is where EBC Brakes' Big Brake Kits (BBK) shine. As a trusted supplier, we’re excited to offer these premium braking solutions to enhance your vehicle’s performance on both road and track.
What is a Big Brake Kit (BBK)?
A Big Brake Kit (BBK) is a high-performance braking system designed to replace standard brake components with larger, more efficient parts that offer improved braking power, heat resistance, and durability. EBC’s BBK kits are crafted to deliver precision braking performance for a variety of vehicles, ensuring maximum safety and control even under the most demanding conditions.
EBC’s BBK kits feature a complete set of components, including:
Two-piece fully-floating rotors: Larger rotors offer more surface area for heat dissipation, improving braking efficiency. These two-piece rotors are made from lightweight, heat-resistant materials to reduce unsprung weight and maintain braking performance over long periods.
Multi-piston calipers*: Unlike standard single-piston calipers, these kits feature multiple pistons to evenly distribute braking pressure. This configuration delivers more consistent pad wear and exceptional stopping power. *Piston configuration is application dependent
Braided steel brake lines: These lines resist expansion under pressure, ensuring a more consistent pedal feel and direct response. They’re more durable than traditional rubber lines, offering peace of mind in high-stress conditions.
High-performance pads: EBC provides Yellowstuff™ and Bluestuff™ pads in these kits, designed to withstand high temperatures and heavy-duty usage. These pads not only last longer but also deliver exceptional stopping power with minimal fade.
The Benefits of EBC Big Brake Kits for Road and Track Use
EBC’s BBK kits are meticulously engineered to enhance braking performance for drivers who need reliable control, especially in high-performance or modified vehicles. Here are some of the top advantages:
Enhanced Stopping Power
The increased rotor size and multi-piston calipers provide far greater stopping force compared to OEM brakes. This upgrade is especially beneficial for drivers who push their vehicles to high speeds or who require quick, controlled stopping distances—whether on the road or on the track.
Improved Heat Management
Heat is a critical factor in braking performance. EBC’s two-piece rotors and high-temperature pads manage heat effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended braking periods. By dissipating heat more efficiently, these kits maintain stopping power even in extreme conditions, giving drivers confidence and safety.
Durable Components for Longevity
EBC’s BBKs are crafted from robust materials that offer extended service life. The two-piece rotor design reduces wear on each part, allowing for longer-lasting performance. EBC’s steel-braided brake lines also resist the wear and tear of traditional rubber lines, ensuring that the braking response remains consistent over time.
Consistent Pedal Feel
The combination of steel-braided lines and larger, more efficient calipers results in a more direct and responsive brake pedal feel. This consistency is invaluable for performance drivers, as it provides precise braking control, which is essential for safe maneuvering at higher speeds.
Track-Ready Performance for Road Use
While designed to meet the demands of track driving, EBC’s Big Brake Kits are also optimized for road use, making them ideal for performance vehicles used in daily driving. These kits offer the ideal balance of power and smoothness, so drivers don’t need to sacrifice on-road comfort for the benefits of a track-ready brake system.
