Fits Honda CR-V MK5 (2017-2022)

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.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
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 MK5 (2017-2022) — 330 mm
330 mm

The MK5 CR-V’s 1.5-litre turbocharged engine and a kerb weight nudging 1,600kg in loaded family trim ask more of the front brakes than Honda’s standard setup was designed to provide. On a sustained descent through the hills or a long motorway run with the boot stacked and the family aboard, the factory hardware reveals its limit, a creeping softness in the pedal after repeated heavy applications that takes the edge off confidence precisely when you want it most.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses the mass-to-stopping-power imbalance on this platform directly. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, with the factory rear brakes retained for correct balance.

What this brake kit does for your 2017-2022 Honda CR-V MK5

The MK5 CR-V’s taller stance and front-biased weight transfer under braking concentrate heat and load on the front axle, and that is where upgraded hardware pays dividends. A larger swept disc area improves thermal capacity, pushing the fade that creeps into the factory setup during sustained hard use further back in the performance envelope. The hollow-vane disc face draws cooling air through the rotor body, so initial pedal feel firms up, bite arrives earlier in the travel, and the response stays consistent across repeated stops rather than trailing off. 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.

Three pad compounds tailor the kit to use: Street is the quiet, low-dust daily default with meaningfully better initial response than stock, Sport adds bite and heat range for harder fast-road driving, and Racing suits owners pushing the car hard on descents, particularly relevant for anyone towing near the CR-V’s rated limit. On a crossover this size, the difference between a confident and a hesitant pedal carries more consequence than on a lighter sports platform.

About the Hollow brake kit

The caliper body is hollow as standard, forged for rigidity under clamp load while keeping mass down. For the most demanding 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 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 installation reads as purposeful rather than incongruous on a car that spends most of its life on public roads.

Fitment for the Honda CR-V MK5 (2017-2022)

This kit is confirmed for the Honda CR-V MK5 across the full 2017 to 2022 model span, the generation that introduced Honda’s 1.5 VTEC Turbo to the CR-V line in the UK market. Confirm your model year falls within this window before ordering; CR-V generations share exterior proportions but brake mounting points and hub dimensions differ between platforms.

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.
