Caliper render for this kit:

The SW20 MR2 carries most of its mass behind the cabin, which leaves the front axle comparatively light and the nose eager to change direction, right up until the standard calipers start to cook and the pedal goes long. This XYZ Racing front big brake kit targets that front axle specifically, giving Toyota’s mid-engined coupe the threshold braking and clean modulation the layout actually depends on.
The second-generation MR2 rewards drivers who brake with precision and trail off the pedal into a corner rather than stamping and hoping. This front big brake kit supplies a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs, built to make that pedal predictable so the car’s sharp turn-in begins from a stable platform instead of a fading one, which matters more on a tail-happy mid-engined chassis than on almost anything else.
What this big brake kit does for your 1989-1999 Toyota MR2 W20
On a 1989-1999 Toyota MR2 W20, the difference is felt first in consistency. The larger front rotor and caliper add thermal mass, the hollow-vane disc draws heat off the friction face, and the two-piece floating construction lets the iron ring expand against its alloy bell without coning, so repeated hard stops on a fast B-road or a track session shrug off the fade and pedal travel that creep into the original setup. Because the W20’s nose is light, brake-induced weight transfer happens quickly, and a front end that retards smoothly keeps that transfer controllable rather than abrupt. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, let you match initial bite and operating temperature to how the car is driven, from quiet road use to sustained circuit work.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
This is a front-axle upgrade comprising a multi-piston caliper and an uprated two-piece floating disc sized to clear and suit the W20’s front geometry. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, and larger swept area plus increased thermal capacity are the core of the design, aimed at holding a firm pedal under heat rather than chasing outright initial grab, with the disc’s internal hollow vanes doing the cooling work. Pad compound is selectable across Street, Sport, and Racing, so the same hardware can be set up for daily driving or harder track duty. 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. 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.
