XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mitsubishi EVO 1-3 (1992-1996)

The 4G63 in a CD9A or CE9A Evolution has aged remarkably well. Three decades on, it still rewards the right foot with a surge that makes a lot of modern metal look pedestrian. What hasn’t kept pace is the factory brake hardware. That setup was homologated for Group A rally stages, not the kind of repeated, high-temperature braking loads a track day at Snetterton or a sustained push through the Highlands now asks of it. Heat soak and thirty years of thermal cycling take their toll.

This XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit gives the EVO 1-3 braking capability proportionate to what that turbocharged, four-wheel-drive package actually delivers. It is a front-axle upgrade, a matched pair of left and right front calipers and discs. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, configure the same kit for an owner who commutes in their Evo and tracks it twice a year, or for someone who runs it hard every time it leaves the garage.

What this brake kit does for your 1992-1996 Mitsubishi EVO 1-3

The hollow-vane disc construction draws heat away from the friction surface far more aggressively than a conventional rotor. On a car as rewarding to push through a braking zone as the CE9A, that thermal headroom matters the moment braking zones get repeated, and the lighter disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front. The four-wheel-drive drivetrain distributes braking load more evenly than a rear-wheel-drive layout would, but the front axle still carries the greater thermal burden at corner entry, particularly when the 4G63’s torque is being used hard and entry speeds are high. The pad choice matches the system to your temperature range: Street is the quiet, low-dust road default, Sport adds bite and heat range for mixed and fast-road driving, and Racing handles sustained circuit sessions where the Evo’s chassis rewards committed, precise braking.

Caliper colour is included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, which on a car that is now a genuine collectible matters more than it once did.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, paired with two-piece floating rotors whose internal venting draws heat away from the disc face faster than a solid rotor, reducing the temperature gradient across the friction surface under sustained load. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, plumbed on braided lines for a firm, repeatable pedal. For a platform like the EVO 1-3, a turbocharged, four-wheel-drive machine built around competitive motorsport, that difference is tangible the moment braking zones stack up. Three pad grades cover a wide band of use: Street for road driving, Sport for a mix of road and occasional track sessions, and Racing for cars that spend meaningful time on circuit. For serious track use an optional Hollow Racing caliper upgrade is offered, run without a dust cover, rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty. Caliper colour is included in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, with a Custom Color to any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange.
