Fits Honda CIVIC FD2 TYPE-R (2005-2011)

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 — Honda CIVIC FD2 TYPE-R (2005-2011) — 330 mm
330 mm

On a front-wheel-drive circuit car the front brakes carry almost everything, and the FD2 Type-R intensifies that. The K20A’s appetite for its upper rev range means arriving at braking zones with genuine momentum, and the repeated heat cycles that follow compound across a session in a way intermittent road driving never reveals. The standard front hardware is a capable piece of engineering; it simply was not sized for what committed track use asks of it.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Honda Civic FD2 Type-R extends those limits. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, leaving the factory rear brakes untouched so the chassis balance stays as Honda intended.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2011 Honda CIVIC FD2 TYPE-R

Upgrading the front brakes on a FWD car is a different calculation than on a rear-driven platform. With virtually all retardation coming through the front axle, the gap between composed braking and fade is narrow, and the hardware has to manage heat actively rather than simply soak it up. The hollow-vane disc face increases the cooling air drawn through the rotor and keeps fluid temperatures lower through back-to-back stops.

The two-piece construction pairs a forged alloy centre bell with a floating iron friction ring, trimming rotating and unsprung mass at the front corner and sharpening turn-in where the FD2 already excels. Three pad compounds mean the same kit covers daily driving and timed laps without a part swap: Street is the quiet, low-dust road 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 Brake Kit

The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, a forged design that holds rigidity under hard clamp load while keeping mass down. For owners running serious track time, an optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.

Included painted colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color matched to any Pantone is available for £150. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, with candy options in Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be specified as a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or in titanium, all chosen when you order.

Fitment for the Honda CIVIC FD2 TYPE-R (2005-2011)

This kit is designed for the Honda Civic FD2 Type-R, the JDM-specification, sedan-bodied eighth-generation Civic Type-R produced between 2005 and 2011. The FD2 chassis code is distinct from the contemporary European-market FN2 hatchback. UK owners running a grey-import FD2 should confirm their chassis designation before ordering, as the two variants use different front hub geometry.

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.
