Stopping Power That Matches Our Speed: EBC Brakes x FA24-Swapped Scion FRS

When we made the leap to swap our first-gen Scion FRS with a modern FA24 engine, the goal was simple: go faster, stay reliable, and stay competitive. But more power demands more control—and that’s where EBC Brakes came into the picture. Since Fall 2023, EBC has been a critical part of our racing program, and the difference they've made on track has been nothing short of impressive.

Our FRS now runs the EBC Apollo Race Brake Kit paired with SR21 race pads, and the result is unmatched braking confidence. The system delivers firm, predictable pedal feel and serious heat resistance—exactly what we need when we're pushing deep into braking zones lap after lap. Whether it’s a late-brake pass or dialing in consistency during an endurance stint, the performance is rock solid. Simply put: when the car goes faster, the brakes need to work harder—and EBC delivers every time.

One of the most refreshing parts of working with EBC Brakes is how smooth and supportive the entire experience has been. Their customer service is top tier; quick to respond, highly knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success on track. It's rare to find a company so committed to both product performance and racer support, and we're proud to have them in our corner.

With GridLife Midwest Festival right around the corner, we’re entering one of the most high-profile weekends of the season with complete confidence in our setup. Power, handling, and now premium stopping power—our FRS is more dialed than ever. Huge thanks to EBC Brakes for being a key part of that evolution.

See you at Midwest. Let’s go to work!
