Fits Toyota CELICA ZZT 230 (1999-2006)

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 — Toyota CELICA ZZT 230 (1999-2006) — 330 mm
330 mm

The 2ZZ-GE changes its entire character at 6200rpm when VVTL-i opens the high-lift cam profile: suddenly 192bhp is live in your hands, the redline is 8200rpm away, and if you are on track you are already deep into a braking zone by the time that second rev range engages. On a front-wheel-drive platform, there is no escaping the geometry: the front axle carries the steering, both driven wheels, and the bulk of the stopping load simultaneously. The stock brake package on the T-Sport was sized for road composure and delivers that well, but sustained lapping asks more of it than the original specification was designed to provide.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit for the Toyota Celica ZZT 230 addresses that gap, fitting an uprated front disc and caliper assembly with three pad compounds that span everyday road use through to full club-racing duty across the 1999 to 2006 model run. Street is the quiet, low-dust default, Sport adds bite and heat range, and Racing is the dedicated track compound.

What this brake kit does for your 1999-2006 Toyota CELICA ZZT 230

Under hard braking on a front-drive car, all the deceleration load piles into the same two tyres simultaneously trying to steer, which is exactly why the front brakes on the ZZT 230 matter so disproportionately to how the car behaves at the limit. The hollow-vane, two-piece floating disc reduces rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle, sharpening pedal response at the moment you need it most: the initial bite on a heavy braking marker. Braided lines firm the pedal further. Three compounds let you choose a friction material matched to the thermal cycles your driving actually generates rather than accepting a compromise midrange option. Racing is intended for sustained use where pad temperature stays elevated across consecutive braking events, which a 192bhp ZZT 230 will produce on a full track day without much encouragement. The caliper finish means the visible hardware can be matched to the rest of the build rather than disappearing under anonymous paint.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s hollow-vane disc prioritises cooling and mass reduction at the front axle in the same hardware, the two variables that drive brake fade on a hard-driven FWD car over a long session. The hollowed section through the disc body promotes airflow and heat dissipation, extending the point at which thermal cycling becomes a problem under repetitive heavy use. The discs are two-piece and floating, the caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, and braided lines are included. Pad compound selection across Street, Sport, and Racing means the kit spans a genuine range of use cases rather than sitting in a single operating window. Painted caliper finishes Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black are included at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone at £150 and premium polished-forged and candy finishes also offered for those building to a specific livery. The kit is specced for front installation and covers the full ZZT 230 model run.

Fitment for the Toyota CELICA ZZT 230 (1999-2006)

This kit is confirmed for the Toyota Celica ZZT 230 across the complete 1999 to 2006 production run, covering T-Sport and equivalent variants built on the ZZT 230 chassis. If the front braking hardware on your car has been modified previously, confirm the original caliper and hub specification is still in place 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.
