Caliper render for this kit:

The JZX 100 is the platform that kept the 1JZ-GTE relevant long after Toyota stopped building it, a rear-drive saloon that rewards modification and has built a devoted grey-import following in the UK. The Cresta body sits at the formal end of the X100 family, but beneath the chrome trim and quieter cabin it shares the same chassis as the Chaser and Mark II, and the same 2.5-litre turbocharged straight-six that makes all three worth modifying seriously. Where most of these cars end up, boosted, lowered, and running well past the factory-stated 280bhp, the stock front iron discs are already past their design brief before the engine is properly on boost.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the JZX 100 Cresta is a direct answer to that mismatch. Three pad compounds, a matched pair of front calipers, two-piece floating discs, and a kit built around the front axle’s real workload: this is a complete front brake upgrade, not a rotor swap bolted to the standard caliper.
What this brake kit does for your 1996-2001 Toyota CRESTA JZX 100
The 1JZ-GTE sits well forward in the JZX 100’s bay, placing meaningful mass over the front axle, and under hard braking that weight bias becomes the dominant variable. How confidently you can brake late into a corner depends entirely on what is stopping the front wheels. The hollow-vane two-piece disc draws heat off the friction face faster than the solid OE rotor and lets the iron ring expand against its alloy bell without coning, so the kit shortens stopping distances, resists fade under repeated applications, and delivers a more progressive pedal through its working range, which matters on a platform where tuned outputs routinely reach 400bhp or beyond. Three pad compounds let you match the hardware to how the car is being used on a given day without sourcing separate kits: Street is the quiet, low-dust road default, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road and the odd track day, and Racing is the dedicated circuit compound.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, built for applications where the factory brakes have become the constraint rather than the engine or chassis. The hollow caliper and two-piece disc cut rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle, and less inertia working against the steering means the front wheels respond more cleanly to direction changes, a trait the JZX 100’s front bias makes worthwhile. The included calipers are painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost; beyond those you can specify any Pantone as a Custom Color for £150, a premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold, or Polished Silver, or a candy Teal, Blue, Red, or Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium when you order. The three pad compounds, from Street through to full Racing, mean the same kit works across a credible spread of use without compromise in either direction, and serious track users can add the optional Hollow Racing caliper, rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty.

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.
