Caliper render for this kit:
The FK2 Type R arrived as Honda’s most committed road-going track tool in a generation: 306bhp through the front wheels, a Nürburgring FWD lap record, and an almost aggressive willingness to be driven hard. What the factory Brembo setup handles well in isolation becomes a constraint once you start logging sustained sessions. The front axle on a turbocharged front-wheel-drive car carries an enormous heat load, and repeated hard stops from speed will find the thermal ceiling of standard hardware.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that ceiling on the Honda Civic FK2 Type-R directly. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, built around how the FK2 actually gets driven, with the factory rear brakes retained for correct balance.
What this brake kit does for your 2015-2017 Honda Civic FK2 Type-R
The FK2’s front-wheel-drive layout means the forward axle handles braking, steering, and driven-wheel traction simultaneously, one of the most demanding environments a brake system can work in. The hollow-vane disc face shifts heat away from the friction surface faster than a solid-faced item, pushing back the fade onset that otherwise appears during back-to-back sessions. The two-piece disc runs a forged alloy centre bell and a floating iron friction ring, trimming rotating and unsprung mass at the front corner so the FK2 turns in cleaner under load.
Three pad compounds let you match the friction character to actual use. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default. Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road and the occasional track day. Racing is the dedicated circuit compound for drivers using the car competitively.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper body is hollow as standard, forged to stay rigid under hard clamp load while keeping mass down. For serious track use, 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 available for £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 chosen when you order.
Fitment for the Honda Civic FK2 Type-R (2015-2017)
This kit is confirmed for the Honda Civic FK2 Type-R built between 2015 and 2017, the first-generation turbocharged Type R produced on the ninth-generation Civic platform. No adaptation is required for the standard front-axle architecture of this chassis. Verify your build year falls within the 2015-2017 production window before ordering.

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.
