Caliper render for this kit:

The AE111 Levin arrived in the mid-1990s as the definitive expression of Toyota’s lightweight FWD formula, carrying the 20-valve 4A-GE in a body that weighed barely a tonne. UK owners of grey imports have typically inherited a car built for road use in Japan, with brakes to match: front discs that cope with normal driving but begin to protest under the kind of sustained deceleration the 4A-GE’s rev-hungry character actually demands. At touge pace, through a gymkhana course, or during a proper circuit session, the stock front setup’s thermal limits show up early.
This XYZ Racing Front Big Brake Kit for the Toyota AE111 Levin 2WD (1997-2000) is a direct response to that gap. It fits as a pair of front calipers and a pair of two-piece front discs, with more swept area, better thermal management, and a compound range spanning quiet road use through to outright racing, built for an owner who has already decided the factory hardware is not keeping pace with the engine.
What this brake kit does for your 1997-2000 Toyota AE111 LEVIN 2WD
On a front-wheel-drive car the front brakes absorb the majority of weight transfer under hard deceleration, and on the AE111 that load is concentrated on an axle that also drives the car. The two-piece floating discs add thermal capacity to resist fade through back-to-back heavy stops, keeping pedal feel consistent as temperatures climb through successive corners, with the hollow-vane casting driving air through the disc face and the two-piece construction trimming rotating and unsprung mass on a featherweight chassis.
Three pad compounds match the setup to how the car is used. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for the driver who wants the fitment benefit without altering bite characteristics in daily traffic; Sport adds bite and heat range for spirited road use; Racing is the full track compound for competition. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, braided lines firm up the pedal, and the calipers are painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no cost, or in any Pantone as a Custom Color for an added charge, so the finish suits the wider build rather than looking like an afterthought.
About the XYZ Racing Front Big Brake Kit
The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, light against its strength, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for full competition use that removes the dust cover and adds a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating disc moves beyond the thermal constraints of a standard original-equipment fitment, where recovery speed between repeated hard stops determines consistency.
All three pad compounds share the same caliper geometry, giving genuine flexibility across use cases without a hardware change. Beyond the included paints, finish choices extend to premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and a candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be specified two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium, all chosen when you order, making this a considered choice for a car that frequently carries other visible modifications.
Fitment for the Toyota AE111 LEVIN 2WD (1997-2000)

Confirm the 2WD variant against your chassis records before ordering; the AE111 Levin line included different drivetrain configurations depending on the Japanese domestic spec.

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.
