Fits Peugeot 208 GTI (2013-2026)

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.

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 — Peugeot 208 GTI (2013-2026) — 286 mm
286 mm

Front-wheel drive concentrates the braking conversation entirely at the front axle. On the 208 GTI, those two front corners handle deceleration weight transfer, repeated trail-braking loads and corner-entry behaviour simultaneously, with nothing at the rear to share the thermal burden. The stock front brakes perform well in isolation, but sustained hard use through a track day or a long series of mountain hairpins tends to expose their limits in fade resistance and pedal consistency.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Peugeot 208 GTI (2013-2026) addresses that front-axle workload directly. Supplied as a matched left-and-right pair of larger discs and forged calipers, with three pad compounds, the specification reflects how the car is actually used rather than an assumed compromise.

What this brake kit does for your 2013-2026 Peugeot 208 GTI

The larger hollow-vane discs draw air through the rotor to manage heat, and the two-piece floating construction reduces rotating and unsprung mass at each front corner. On a car where the front suspension simultaneously manages steering geometry and deceleration load, lower rotational inertia translates into more direct turn-in response, the front end behaving more honestly when it is not fighting the momentum of heavier standard-spec rotors. The floating friction ring also stays flat as it heats, keeping the pedal consistent through extended high-load sessions.

The three-compound pad choice makes this a genuinely configurable upgrade. Street delivers reliable, quiet, low-dust bite from cold and across the temperature variation of daily use. Sport widens the heat range and bite for drivers who push harder than average but still want cold-brake confidence. Racing needs heat to reach its optimal friction window but holds it consistently through extended sessions. Choosing the wrong compound for the application is the most common brake-upgrade mistake, and this kit lets you avoid it. Braided stainless lines are part of the kit to keep the pedal firm under load.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry, machined voids within the disc body that reduce rotating and unsprung weight without sacrificing surface area or structural rigidity under thermal cycling. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade that removes the dust cover, carries a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty for machines that regularly sustain elevated disc temperatures under hard braking.

Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, cover distinct use cases. Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, giving owners the choice to match or deliberately contrast with a wider build, from understated black on a daily-driven 208 GTI to vivid yellow on a car that lives at circuit events. A Custom Color in any Pantone shade is available for £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with a two-tone centre bell in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout.

Fitment for the Peugeot 208 GTI (2013-2026)

This kit is confirmed for the Peugeot 208 GTI across its full run from 2013 through 2026, covering the A9-platform GTI variant. The fitment applies to the GTI model specifically, not the standard 208 hatchback or the VTi trim lines. Confirm your car is the GTI variant before selecting your compound and colour.

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.
