- In today's video, join me as we take you through our incredible experience at EBC Brakes HQ, where we removed an older brake kit on my Focus ST and replaced it with a cutting-edge 4-pot Big Brake setup from EBC designed specifically for my car, all explaining why brakes are so important.
When it comes to chasing big power in your car, brakes are a vital upgrade that can't be overlooked but there are so many questions that the car community seems to have surrounding this, such as, why do brakes squeal so much, which pads do I need, which brakes are legal on the road and which aren't?
Witness the process of uninstalling the old brake kit converted from a BMW purchased on eBay and discover how the brand-new 4-pot Big Brake setup from EBC was tailored to match the specific demands of my high-powered Focus ST225 that " might " have a potential future in motorsport.
Whether you're into track racing or spirited driving on the streets, upgrading your brakes is essential to ensure the safety and performance of your vehicle, especially when pushing it to its limits.
Don't miss out on this exciting adventure at EBC Brakes HQ and witness the transformation of my car's braking system!

Thank you for coming up! Was a great day!
What an edit! Love it
Glad you changed the bonnet George better without the wrc vents ❤
with the big brake kit do you need to change your allow wheels size to account for the calipers and the brake disc
Hi, it really depends on the vehicle, on some vehicles you will need to and on some you won't. We can always provide wheel clearance templates so you can be sure.
Volvo XC90 T8 and damn do I want a BBK to fill out those wheels & make that 2.3T machine stop when told to do so. Don't get me wrong, factory does stop but as a long time yellow stuff user a BBK would make a hell of a difference.
Great video enjoyed it from start to fishing but the use of copper grease is a massive no. Once it dries it aids corrosion with the copper contents. Has potential to interfere with abs systems etc. High temp brake grease is the way forward.
Dude they manufacture and design these brake systems from the groud up. The mechanic fitting them knows more than you
Nice brakes, what exhaust is on your car
section 59 buddy
Yes lad did you find out if that licence plate would of been illegal met you at ford fest on Sunday outside Sam's detailing😊
He actually hasn’t replied yet. Message me on Instagram and I’ll keep you in the loop
@@GCMYT get him on it lad we need to know 🤣
Where’s the focus gone.

Brake caliper carriers !
I can’t believe that a company like EBC has someone to fit your brakes and puts copper grease on the caliper slides a totally no no, it will congeal and go hard
Only on the threads of the cotter pin, will help when it comes to removal.
Hi, we agree that copper grease should not be used when installing the pads/slides, however its always worthwhile applying some to the retention bolt to stop potential seizing. Thank you.
What’s best for putting on sliders lithium grease !?
If you’re doing big brake upgrade, why use .4 fluid, just go .5.1 racing fluid
So cringe 😬 this guys not a car guy at all he knows nothing about cars including the one he knows. I want my data back 😅
