Caliper render for this kit:
The E110 Corolla’s front brakes were designed for an era when the car’s mission was dependability over dynamics. Run the 1.6 SR or 1.8 SR hard enough, trailing into a hairpin or making repeated stops from 80-plus mph on a track day, and the modest single-piston calipers and conservative disc diameter begin to tell on pedal consistency. This XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit addresses that limit on the front axle, where front-wheel-drive physics already concentrates the majority of the deceleration load.
Three pad compounds keep the kit adaptable across how Corollas are actually used in 2026, from fast-road daily driving to budget circuit builds: Street is the quiet, low-dust default, Sport adds bite and a wider heat range, and Racing is the dedicated track compound.
What this brake kit does for your 1997-2001 Toyota Corolla
On a FWD platform, the front axle handles upward of 70 per cent of braking force at every corner entry. The factory discs on the E110 manage that adequately under normal conditions, but thermal capacity is limited: repeated hard stops push pad and fluid temperatures upward, and pedal feel suffers accordingly. The hollow-vane disc provides greater heat dissipation than the OE setup, keeping temperatures in a more stable range across multiple hard applications, while the two-piece floating disc trims rotating mass and braided lines firm the pedal. Three compounds let owners match friction material to actual use: Street for daily duties, Sport for the mix of commuting and fast road, and Racing for dedicated track sessions where sustained operating temperatures are the norm.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The Hollow Front Brake Kit from XYZ Racing uses a hollow-vane disc where internal venting promotes airflow across the friction surfaces, improving thermal management beyond the OE disc specification fitted to the E110 generation. The discs are two-piece and floating, the caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, and braided lines are included. 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, allowing the upgrade to sit within a wider modified build or contrast against a standard body. Pad compound is selected when you order: Street suits regular driving with low dust and clean bite, Sport covers the driver mixing motorway miles with spirited road use, and Racing is for track days where heat build-up is continuous and consistent friction through temperature matters. The kit covers the front axle on the Toyota Corolla 1997-2001 as a matched pair.
Fitment for the Toyota Corolla (1997-2001)
This kit is confirmed for the Toyota Corolla across the 1997 to 2001 production run, spanning the E110-generation platform as sold in the UK market. Buyers should verify their specific variant before ordering, as front disc and hub specifications can vary across trim configurations within the E110 range. Year coverage runs from 1997 to 2001 inclusive.

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.
