Big Brake Kit (BBK) Upgrade

Call +65 8225 5220

A big brake kit is about more than calipers behind the spokes—larger swept area, better heat tolerance, and a pedal that stays predictable when brakes get hot. We fit reputable kits including AP Racing, Brembo, and CJ Dynamics where suited to your chassis.

We verify wheel clearance, brackets, pad compatibility, fluid spec, and bleed quality—hardware only delivers when hydraulics and bedding are right.

Many BBK paths start from $1488 depending on vehicle, kit tier, and labour; we quote clearly before parts are ordered.

We’d rather kill a sale than fit a kit your wheels don’t clear—or ignore tyres that can’t translate bigger brakes into shorter stops. BBKs reward honest geometry and proper bleed more than showroom polish.

What this involves

A quick look at what we check, explain, and quote clearly before any work begins.

Brands we fit—and why match matters

AP Racing, Brembo, CJ Dynamics, and other reputable BBK lines each suit different budgets, wheel packages, and thermal loads. We align pad compound and rotor sizing with how you drive—daily family km versus harder weekends—not just the loudest catalogue photo.

Efficiency, clearance, and hydraulics

Larger discs and multi-piston calipers only help when brackets clear, fluids suit boiling points you’ll see in Singapore heat, and bleeding removes trapped air. We torque safety-critical hardware and validate pedal feel before the car leaves.

Aesthetics with discipline

Finish and wheel presentation matter—but so does bedding and balance with tyres and suspension. We walk you through post-install bedding so new friction pairs mate cleanly and stopping stays stable.

How we usually handle it

1

Vehicle check

Wheels, tyres, current brakes, usage profile, and shortlist kits—AP Racing, Brembo, CJ Dynamics, or alternatives—reviewed for clearance and realism.

2

Install

Fit kit to manufacturer/workshop procedure; torque critical fasteners.

3

Bleed & pedal feel

Hydraulic bleed until pedal is firm and consistent.

4

Verify

Clearance under load, bedding guidance, and honest notes on grip limits—especially if tyres are budget-focused.

Changed to StopFlex carbon ceramic race rotors and weighed each piece before and after. Fronts went from 12.6kg to 6.8kg and rears from 9.3kg to 5.5kg, which is 19.2kg of unsprung weight off the car once all four corners were done. Less mass to stop and less for the dampers to control means shorter stopping distances, quicker throttle response and better heat handling under repeated braking.
