Fits Honda CR-V MK4 (2012-2016)

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 CR-V MK4 (2012-2016) — 330 mm
330 mm

The MK4 CR-V sits at the heavier end of the compact crossover class, well over 1,500kg in petrol trim and heavier still in diesel, and Honda engineered its factory front brakes for normal family use rather than repeated hard stops. On a long Alpine descent with a trailer hitched, or on a mountain stage where the same hairpin appears twelve times in thirty minutes, the stock front end runs out of margin faster than most owners expect.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that margin directly. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, with the factory rear brakes retained so the balance stays correct.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2016 Honda CR-V MK4

The front axle of any front-biased crossover takes the dominant share of braking effort, and loading the MK4 with four adults, a full boot, and a trailer on the towbar climbs that proportion further. The hollow-vane disc face increases heat dissipation over a conventional solid casting, keeping pedal feel consistent through repeated applications rather than building towards a long, spongy stroke at the bottom of the third big stop. The two-piece disc pairs a forged alloy centre bell with a floating iron friction ring, trimming rotating and unsprung mass at the front corner.

The three-compound pad choice is more than cosmetic. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily drivers who want better hardware without altering pedal character. Sport raises the thermal ceiling and bite for those who push harder on B-roads and dual carriageways. Racing shifts the operating window significantly higher for track days, hillclimbs, or sprints where brake temperatures climb well beyond road norms.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper body is hollow as standard, forged to keep mass down while staying rigid under clamp load. For the heaviest track and competition 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 £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 come 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 selectable when you order.

Fitment for the Honda CR-V MK4 (2012-2016)

This kit is confirmed for the Honda CR-V MK4 across the complete 2012-2016 production span, covering both FWD and AWD drivetrain variants sold in the UK market. No trim exclusions are listed in the fitment data. If you are unsure whether your car is MK4 or the preceding MK3, the fourth-generation CR-V arrived in 2012 with a visibly sharper body style and ran through to the 2016 facelift point.

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.
