XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Honda ODYSSEY 3.5 RL5 (USA) (2011-2017)

The front axle of the RL5 Odyssey carries disproportionate braking load by design. Front-wheel drive means deceleration force runs through the same corners that drive the van, leaving the factory hardware little margin for sustained hard use. Load the cabin, descend a long Alpine pass, or push this generation of Odyssey at an autocross event, and the standard caliper-and-disc package starts to show its limits in heat retention and pedal consistency.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit for the Honda Odyssey 3.5 RL5 (2011-2017) addresses the front axle specifically, with three pad compound choices to match the kit’s capability to actual use rather than a one-size factory compromise.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2017 Honda ODYSSEY 3.5 RL5 (USA)

The two-piece floating discs limit added rotating mass at the front axle while preserving the swept area advantage of larger brake hardware, a meaningful trade-off on a front-heavy FWD platform where the front discs are already the hardest-working components in the system. For everyday urban running and motorway miles, the Street compound delivers a clean step up in fade resistance over stock while staying quiet and low-dust. The Sport compound suits drivers who load the RL5 regularly, use it on mountain routes, or push it hard on track evenings where repeated braking zones build heat across successive passes. Racing compound is there for the sustained high-temperature environments that timed competition brings, where stock brakes begin to lose modulation. Caliper colour is set when you order, with Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black included at no extra cost, matched to the van’s finish or specified for visibility through open-spoke wheels.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

This kit addresses a constraint common to big-brake fitment on production vehicles: increasing the disc’s swept area adds thermal capacity, but it also adds rotating mass. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, and the two-piece floating discs remove material from sections that contribute least to structural stiffness, keeping that mass penalty proportionate to the performance gain. Three pad compounds cover the full spectrum of front-axle duty the RL5 actually sees, from Street for road-biased ownership, through Sport for harder fast-road and occasional circuit use, to Racing for sustained competition where heat management defines the result. For dedicated track work the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, and the caliper palette extends to a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, plus premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange).

Fitment for the Honda ODYSSEY 3.5 RL5 (USA) (2011-2017)

This kit is built for the fifth-generation Honda Odyssey with the 3.5-litre V6, covering the RL5 production run from 2011 to 2017 in US-market specification. The RL5 designation is North America-specific. Hub and spindle dimensions differ from JDM variants of the same generation, so verify your chassis code before ordering.
