Fits Chevrolet CAVALIER (1995-2005)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Chevrolet CAVALIER (1995-2005) — 356 mm
356 mm

The J-body Cavalier’s front axle carries a triple burden: steering the car, driving it, and stopping it. In a chassis conceived as an economy commuter and subsequently adopted by budget autocross and club racing series, that front-axle workload under repeated hard braking is the limiting factor, and the stock discs were never sized to absorb it. The XYZ Racing front big brake kit changes that calculus.

Three pad compound options mean this matched pair of front calipers and discs works across the full spectrum of Cavalier use, from a street-registered daily that occasionally sees track days through to a dedicated competition build where braking is a performance variable to be optimised, not an afterthought.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier

The Cavalier’s front-biased FWD layout demands that the nose handles the majority of braking force every time you trail-brake into a corner. Stock hardware copes with normal road use but fades under the heat cycles that autocross competition or multiple spirited B-road sessions impose. The two-piece floating disc construction improves thermal dissipation and reduces rotating and unsprung weight simultaneously, two gains that compound usefully on a J-body where low unsprung mass sharpens the front axle’s response. The floating mount also lets the disc grow under heat without coning, and braided stainless lines keep the pedal firm where heat would swell a stock rubber line. Three pad compound grades, Street, Sport and Racing, allow the same hardware to serve different Cavalier builds without reconfiguring the system from scratch: Street stays quiet and low-dust for the road, Sport adds bite and heat range for dual-purpose use, Racing is the dedicated competition compound.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The two-piece floating discs reduce rotating mass compared to conventional one-piece vented equivalents while maintaining the thermal capacity needed for repeated stops. On a platform like the Cavalier, where front-axle weight is a persistent handling concern, saving mass at the disc is worth more than the same saving elsewhere in the build. Disc faces come drilled or slotted at the same price. The calipers are hollow-body as standard for low corner weight, with the Hollow Racing caliper available as an upgrade for serious track use, no dust cover, rated to 1000C and a two-year warranty. The kit is finished in your choice of caliper colour: the painted options of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black ship at no extra cost, Custom Color matches any Pantone for a set fee, and premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) finishes are available so the hardware sits cleanly inside an open-spoke wheel or complements a show-quality finish. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, are selectable at checkout. Pad compound is specified when you order: Street for predominantly road use, Sport for dual-purpose drivers who occasionally push the car, Racing for competition-specified J-bodies where every braking reference point matters.

Fitment for the Chevrolet Cavalier (1995-2005)

This kit covers the third-generation Chevrolet Cavalier produced across the full 1995 to 2005 model window, encompassing both coupe and sedan body styles built on the J-platform. Verify your model year falls within that range before ordering; earlier second-generation Cavaliers use a different front-end specification.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
