XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Toyota GT86 (2012-2020)

The Toyota GT86 rewards the driver who brakes late and trail-brakes towards an apex, and that is exactly where the standard front setup runs out of ideas. With only around 200bhp from the FA20 boxer, the ZN6 lives on corner speed and brake-pedal confidence rather than straight-line punch, so heat-soaked front discs that go long after three hard laps cost you the very thing the car is built around.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces that weak point with a larger front package designed to shrug off repeated heavy stops. It is a front-axle kit supplying a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs, offered with Street, Sport, or Racing pad compounds, so you can match the bite and temperature window to whether the car sees mostly road miles or full track-day use.

What this big brake kit does for your 2012-2020 Toyota GT86

Fit the kit and the first thing you notice on a 2012-2020 GT86 is a firmer, more progressive pedal that holds its height as the brakes get hot. The larger front discs and stiffer caliper give you more clamping force and greater thermal mass, so the fade that creeps in halfway through a session is pushed much further away. The two-piece floating disc lets the iron ring expand against its alloy bell without coning, keeping pad contact even as temperatures climb. On the road that means shorter, more controlled stops and a pedal that feels the same cold on the commute as it does warm on a back-road blast. Racing steps up bite and high-temperature stability for circuit work, Sport adds heat range for fast road, and Street stays quiet and low-dust for daily use. Because braking confidence is what lets you carry the GT86’s hard-won corner speed, better front brakes do more for your pace here than on almost any other car.

About the Hollow front brake kit

This is XYZ Racing’s answer to the GT86’s biggest track weakness: front-end heat management. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, and the two-piece disc uses an internal hollow-vane construction that trims rotating and unsprung mass while opening airflow through the rotor to shed heat between braking zones. The kit arrives as a complete front-axle upgrade of discs, calipers, and pads rather than a pad-and-fluid bandage, so the whole front braking system works as a matched set. Three pad compounds are offered: Street for low noise and dust, Sport for fast-road bite and heat range, and Racing built for the temperatures a circuit generates. 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 included calipers come 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. For owners who have found the limit of the standard brakes, the optional Hollow Racing caliper drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.

Fitment for the Toyota GT86 (2012-2020)

This kit is sized for the front axle of the Toyota GT86 across the full 2012-2020 production run, covering the ZN6 platform shared with the Subaru BRZ. It is a front-only package, so confirm your model year against the listing before ordering, then pick the caliper finish and pad compound that suit how you actually use the car.
