Caliper render for this kit:

The E39A Galant VR4 arrived in 1988 carrying the 4G63T turbocharged four and a viscous-coupled AWD drivetrain that produced around 205bhp with the kind of all-weather traction that left contemporary rear-wheel-drive rivals cold. What it didn’t receive was front braking to match: the standard calipers were saloon-car specification, undersized relative to the front-axle loads generated by a boosted AWD machine under hard deceleration.
This XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit for the Mitsubishi Galant VR4 corrects that original shortfall. It is a front-axle upgrade, a matched pair of left and right front calipers and discs. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, match the spec to how the car is actually used in 2026, from measured road driving to the more aggressive applications the E39A’s AWD platform handles better than most late-1980s performance saloons.
What this brake kit does for your 1988-1992 Mitsubishi GALANT VR4
The E39A’s viscous-coupled AWD system distributes drive between both axles, but under braking, weight transfer places the majority of deceleration load at the front, the same physics that made the original front caliper specification feel marginal when new and feel more so on a car still running original braking hardware decades on. The hollow-vane disc construction brings far better heat management under repeated applications and a more consistent pedal, and the lighter rotor trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default; Sport adds bite and heat range for harder fast-road work; Racing opens the kit up for sustained hard use the lighter compounds were never calibrated for. Caliper colour is included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, so the hardware visible through the wheels can be matched to the car’s aesthetic without settling for a generic finish.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The Hollow Front Brake Kit from XYZ Racing is a front-axle upgrade with a hollow-bodied caliper as standard and two-piece floating discs, pad compound and caliper colour configurable at the point of order. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, plumbed on braided lines for a firm pedal. Compound selection spans three grades, Street, Sport and Racing, covering the range from considered daily road use through to high-load deceleration on a circuit or fast open road. 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 specifiable 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. The kit is a front-axle fitment to the E39A’s corner specification, replacing the original caliper and rotor assembly rather than working around it. XYZ Racing produce the Hollow series across a wide range of manufacturer applications, each matched to the specific front corner dimensions of the target chassis.
Fitment for the Mitsubishi GALANT VR4 (1988-1992)
This kit is produced to fit the Mitsubishi Galant VR4 (E39A) built between 1988 and 1992. Buyers should confirm their car falls within that production window and that no aftermarket modifications have been made to the front uprights or hub carriers, as non-standard changes to the front corners can affect compatibility. Verify the car’s current specification before ordering.

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.
