Fits Seat ALTEA (2WD) (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (2004-2015)

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.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
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 — Seat ALTEA (2WD) (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (2004-2015) — 330 mm
330 mm

The Seat Altea rides on Volkswagen Group’s PQ35 platform, the same architecture shared with the Golf Mk5 and Leon Mk2, which concentrates braking demand at the front axle on this front-drive layout. In standard trim the factory hardware does its job for everyday commuting. Push it harder, loaded, on a back road, or committed to a track day session, and that adequacy starts to feel like a ceiling.

This XYZ Racing front kit gives the 2004-2015 Altea a properly specified front-axle upgrade. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating front discs, with the rear axle left untouched.

What this brake kit does for your 2004-2015 Seat Altea (2WD)

Front-drive platforms put most of the braking load through the front axle, and the Altea’s nose-heavy bias, inherent in the PQ35’s engine-forward layout, amplifies that under hard stops. This kit sharpens bite and improves pedal feel, which translates into better threshold braking confidence and more controlled weight transfer at turn-in. The two-piece floating discs also cut rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners, which the chassis repays with crisper steering response.

Compound choice matters here. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for owners upgrading for feel and longevity. Sport operates across a wider temperature window for fast-road work and the occasional track day. Racing is the dedicated circuit compound for when sessions are on the calendar and the OE pads’ fade has become the limiting factor. Included caliper colours cover Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with any Pantone available as a Custom Color and premium polished-forged or candy finishes alongside, so the installation finishes to whatever the build demands.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, a forged construction that keeps mass down without losing clamping rigidity, and serious track users can specify the optional Hollow Racing caliper, which deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating disc is the kit’s core thermal advantage, moving heat out of the friction surface faster than a conventional one-piece casting under repeated heavy braking. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bells can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, all selectable when you order. The kit is engineered around the Altea’s two-piece OE caliper interface, the specific fitment requirement that distinguishes it from kits intended for Alteas carrying the single-piece caliper.

Fitment for the Seat ALTEA (2WD) (2004-2015)

This front brake kit covers the Seat Altea (2WD) across the full 2004 to 2015 production span. Compatibility is limited to cars equipped with a two-piece OE caliper; not all Alteas in this generation share that specification, so verifying your existing caliper type before ordering is essential. The 2WD designation excludes the Altea Freetrack 4WD variant.

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.
