Caliper render for this kit:
The FN2 Type-R’s front axle carries everything. On a front-wheel drive platform pushing 201bhp through a mechanical limited-slip differential, the front brakes are not just decelerating the car, they are working against traction loads, cornering forces, and repeated thermal stress in a way a rear-biased platform never demands. The factory setup handles road use and the occasional track outing without issue, but push the FN2 across a full afternoon session and the progressive fade from lap four onwards becomes the car’s most obvious limit.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit answers exactly that. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs with hollow-vane faces, fitting the front axle only so the factory rear brakes keep the chassis balance Honda set.
What this brake kit does for your 2007-2010 Honda CIVIC FN2 TYPE-R
The hollow-vane disc face is the key technical change. It pulls cooling air through the rotor and away from the pad contact surface, slowing the heat soak that triggers fade under sustained braking. On the FN2, where trail-braking into slower corners puts cumulative heat into the front axle, that directly extends the window before pedal feel starts to deaden.
The two-piece construction pairs a forged alloy centre bell with a floating iron friction ring, reducing unsprung mass at the front corner and returning cleaner steering feedback under load. Three pad compounds add practical flexibility: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily use, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road driving and occasional circuit sessions, and Racing is the track compound for high-duty days where thermal management is the priority.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, forged to keep mass low while staying rigid under clamp load. For high-duty track use, an optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and comes with a two-year warranty.
Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black, all at no extra cost. A Custom Color matched to any Pantone is available for £150. Premium polished-forged finishes run to Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, with candy finishes in Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell upgrades to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, all selectable when you order.
Fitment for the Honda CIVIC FN2 TYPE-R (2007-2010)
This kit is built for the Honda Civic FN2 Type-R across the full 2007-2010 European production run. Confirm your car is the European FN2 specification, the K20Z4-engined hatchback, rather than the FD2 (Japanese domestic market) or FK-generation variants, which carry different front-axle and hub dimensions and require separate fitment SKUs.

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.
