XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Scion TC (2005-2010)

The first-generation TC carried a contradiction. Toyota’s naturally aspirated 2AZ-FE pulled hard enough through the mid-range to push a keen driver into territory where the stock single-piston sliding-caliper front brakes started to feel underdressed. A front-heavy FWD coupe close to 1,300kg, with all the primary braking load sitting over the front wheels, exposes the limits of that factory setup quickly on a back road or at a weekend autocross.

This XYZ Racing front kit addresses that gap directly. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating front discs, sized for the platform’s real demands, and it leaves the rear axle alone.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2010 Scion TC

The TC’s FWD layout concentrates braking load through the front axle on every hard stop, and the factory hardware was sized for commuting rather than repeated threshold events. This kit brings greater swept area, more thermal capacity, and consistent pedal feel across back-to-back stops, the distinction that becomes obvious once the stock setup starts to fade after the third or fourth serious scrub of speed. Cutting rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners sharpens turn-in as a bonus, useful on a nose-heavy coupe.

Pad compound sets the character. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily road use. Sport firms up initial bite and widens the heat range for fast road and the odd track day. Racing is the dedicated circuit compound for owners who run the car hard at autocross or on track, where bite at temperature settles results more than outright pace. Switching between Sport and Racing changes how aggressive the front feels on entry, which directly affects rotation confidence when the front axle is doing all the braking work. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with any Pantone available as a Custom Color and premium polished-forged and candy finishes alongside.

About the Hollow Brake Kit

The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, a forged design that keeps weight down without compromising clamping rigidity, and for serious track use 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, so the choice is about feel and appearance, and the centre bells can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium. All of these are chosen when you order. This is a front-axle kit, addressing the end of the car that handles the majority of braking load on a front-drive coupe with a loyal autocross following.

Fitment for the Scion TC (2005-2010)

This kit fits the Scion TC first generation, covering the 2005 through 2010 model years. The TC was sold primarily in North America and Japan during this period, so UK buyers will typically be working with an imported example. Confirm your current front brake specification before ordering. Pad compound and caliper colour are both selected at checkout.
