BCC Front Caliper Upgrade - Ford Escort Mk1

A precision-engineered 4-piston caliper upgrade from BCC Performance Braking, delivering improved braking efficiency for the Ford Escort Mk1 while retaining original fitment and hydraulic compatibility.

Key features

• Direct bolt-on replacement for the original Girling front brake calipers, with no permanent modification required to the suspension, uprights or hubs.
• 4-piston aluminium caliper design providing increased clamping force and more even pad wear, improving braking response and stability under braking.
• High-grade construction using aerospace-quality aluminium caliper bodies, anodised for corrosion resistance, with stainless steel pistons and high-quality seals for long-term reliability.
• Complete kit contents including a pair of BCC 4-piston calipers, brake pads (EBC Ultimax compound supplied as standard), pad pins, retaining hardware, bleed nipples, and feed and bridge lines.
• Improved heat control through external bridge pipe design, reducing brake fluid and caliper temperatures to help resist brake fade during sustained driving.
• OEM hydraulic compatibility, designed to operate with the original master cylinder and brake system for straightforward installation and dependable performance.
