XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Honda INTEGRA DC5 TYPE-R (2001-2006)

The DC5 Type-R arrived from Honda with a mechanical limited-slip differential, double-wishbone geometry up front, and a K20A determined to reach 8,300rpm on every run. In practice that means a front axle carrying serious thermal load whenever you are driving the car properly: the FWD layout puts braking, steering, and acceleration all through the same pair of tyres.

Honda’s factory brakes are competent on the road. Sustained track use tells a different story, with fade creeping in after three or four committed laps and the front end losing the precision the K20’s powerband rewards. This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Integra DC5 Type-R is the direct answer, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle with the factory rear brakes retained.

What this brake kit does for your 2001-2006 Honda INTEGRA DC5 TYPE-R

Because the DC5’s FWD drivetrain concentrates longitudinal load transfer through the front axle under hard braking, the front kit does proportionally more work here than it would on a rear-drive car of equivalent mass. The hollow-vane disc face evacuates heat faster than a solid disc, keeping pedal feel consistent into later braking zones as a session extends. The two-piece disc pairs a forged alloy centre bell with a floating iron friction ring, reducing rotating and unsprung mass and increasing the surface area available for convective cooling, both meaningful gains on a high-revving FWD platform.

Three pad compounds let the kit serve a 7am cold-rubber commute and a hot afternoon of timed laps alike: Street is the quiet, low-dust default where modulation and cold bite matter more than outright fade resistance, Sport raises the performance ceiling for track days without committing to a race-specific setup, and Racing is for competitive or time-attack use where peak deceleration and thermal consistency across repeated high-temperature events are the priority.

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 time-attack and competition work, 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.
