These calipers are not just about aesthetics; they’re engineered for performance and durability, making them perfect for daily driving, aggressive street use, and even occasional track days.

Features That Make a Difference

• High-Quality Construction: Each aluminum caliper body is hard anodized for increased longevity and coated with a high-temperature Teflon polyester top coat in a striking red finish. This advanced coating system, derived from cookware technology, ensures durability and is easy to clean.
• Exceptional Heat Resistance: Unlike standard powder-coated calipers, the Teflon polyester coating won’t crack under extreme heat, and it resists fading from UV exposure. Your calipers will look fantastic for years, even after heavy use.
• Stiffer Design: The Apollo brake calipers feature a 2-piece bolted design, reinforced with high-tensile 12.9 grade steel bolts. This design enhances caliper stiffness, providing a firmer and more responsive pedal feel, especially during intense braking.
• Superior Manufacturing Process: Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings, these calipers offer a performance edge over conventional gravity-cast calipers, displaying higher strength and stiffness.
• Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Every component, including the X-over pipe, hydraulic fittings, and pad retention bolts, is made from 100% stainless steel, ensuring that your calipers remain corrosion-free.
• Easy Maintenance: The one-bolt pad retention system allows for quick and hassle-free pad changes, keeping your brake system in top shape.
