XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Honda EF CRX DELSOL (1987-1991)

The EF CRX’s factory front braking hardware was calibrated for a 1987 road car: modest discs that were entirely adequate when the car left the showroom but become a clear ceiling once you start pressing the chassis at a circuit or committing to fast-road driving where the front axle takes repeated hard stops in quick succession. This XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces that original hardware with stopping performance matched to how these cars are actually used nearly four decades on.

The kit is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, leaving the factory rear brakes in place so the front-biased balance stays correct. Three pad compounds mean the same kit covers a part-time track car and a daily driver that occasionally sees spirited use.

What this brake kit does for your 1987-1991 Honda EF CRX DELSOL

A sub-tonne front-wheel-drive chassis like the EF CRX places the entire braking burden on the front axle during hard stops; get the front-end setup wrong and the car pushes wide rather than rotating into the corner. The two-piece disc pairs a forged alloy centre bell with a floating iron friction ring, meaningfully reducing the rotating and unsprung mass the front suspension manages on every wheel revolution. On a platform this light that is a proportionally larger gain than on a heavier car, and the chassis is sensitive enough to register it in steering response and turn-in.

The hollow-vane disc face draws cooling air through the rotor, holding consistent bite across a wider temperature range and addressing the fade that stock hardware shows under repeated circuit conditions, where heat soak into the disc and caliper erodes pedal feel through a session. Three pad compounds let you set the front-end character without changing hardware: Street is the quiet, low-dust default, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road and the odd track day, and Racing is the dedicated circuit compound.

About the Hollow Front Big Brake Kit

The caliper body is hollow as standard, forged to keep mass down while staying rigid under clamp load. For a stripped, focused EF on circuit, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.

Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color matched to any Pantone is £150. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, with candy finishes in Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, all selectable when you order, so the kit serves a show build as readily as a circuit car.

Fitment for the Honda EF CRX DELSOL (1987-1991)

This kit is built for the Honda EF CRX DELSOL produced from 1987 to 1991. The EF platform covers several Civic-family body styles, so verify your chassis matches the CRX two-seater application before ordering. Year of manufacture is the primary confirmation, with the 1987-1991 production window the boundary for this fitment.
