XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Hyundai I30 (2007-2011)

Hyundai’s first-generation I30 earned a following in UK club motorsport that its conservative styling never quite hinted at. In entry-level class racing, budget trackdays, and RWYB events, the FD platform’s combination of modest kerb weight, predictable FWD handling, and accessible running costs made it a credible tool. The area that consistently exposed its limits was the front brake setup: factory-spec discs sized for school runs and motorway commuting, pressed into heat cycles they were never designed to handle.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit replaces that standard setup with a big-brake specification matched to what the car is actually doing in enthusiast hands. Three pad compounds span quiet daily use, fast-road work, and racing-grade applications, alongside a choice of caliper colour, so the kit addresses both the functional gap and the visual brief.

What this brake kit does for your 2007-2011 Hyundai I30

Front-axle load is a structural fact on any FWD platform, and the first-generation I30 follows the formula without exception: under hard braking, the front wheels carry the bulk of deceleration while the rears contribute relatively little. A big-brake upgrade addresses the thermal consequence of that asymmetry directly. The enlarged rotor and upgraded caliper combination increases the system’s capacity to absorb and disperse heat, keeping pedal feel consistent across repeated heavy stops rather than allowing the progressive softening that marks OEM fade. Three pad compounds mean the 2007-2011 I30’s front-brake character can be matched to actual use: the Street compound stays quiet and low-dust for an I30 that still does weekday duties, the Sport compound adds bite and a wider heat range for regular fast-road driving, and the Racing compound carries committed track sessions where the factory specification gives up long before the driver does. Caliper colour is set when you order from Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, all included at no extra cost.

About the Hollow front big brake kit

This is the front big-brake platform designed to replace OEM front braking components with a higher-capacity specification. The kit ships with a selectable pad compound (Street, Sport or Racing) confirmed when you order, so braking character is calibrated to the application from day one without secondary sourcing. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, paired with two-piece floating discs and braided lines. As a big-brake kit, the rotor dimensions exceed the I30’s factory front specification, increasing both swept area and thermal mass, the two variables that directly govern fade resistance and recovery speed between braking zones. For serious track use the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, and beyond the included caliper colours you can specify a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) or candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) for builds where consistency across the car matters.

Fitment for the Hyundai I30 (2007-2011)

This kit is listed for the Hyundai I30 FD generation across its full production run from 2007 to 2011, position-specific to the front axle. If your I30 variant carries a non-standard factory disc diameter, verify against the detailed fitment data on this page before ordering, as the big-brake kit supersedes the OEM setup entirely rather than working around it.
