Caliper render for this kit:

Load a Touran MK1 with seven up, a full boot and a long downhill stretch of motorway, and the front axle ends up doing almost all of the stopping. This is a tall, nose-heavy people carrier on Volkswagen’s PQ35 platform, and its standard front brakes were specified for a family runabout rather than for sustained heavy braking under weight.
The XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit answers that with a larger two-piece floating disc and a big-brake caliper that bites harder and sheds heat faster than the original setup. Supplied as a matched pair of left and right front corners, it is the front upgrade for owners who tow, carry passengers and luggage as a matter of routine, or simply want a Touran that pulls up straight and feels confident every time the pedal goes down.
What this big brake kit does for your 2003-2015 Volkswagen Touran MK1
You feel it first as a firmer, more progressive pedal. The larger front disc carries more thermal mass, so repeated stops from speed, the loaded school run, a long descent with the car full, no longer push the pads past their working temperature into fade. Pad compound is your call: Street stays quiet and low-dust for daily use, Sport adds bite for harder road driving, and Racing is there if the Touran MK1 sees occasional fast-road or track duty. The two-piece floating disc and its hollow-vane casting also move heat away faster, so the result is shorter braking distances and a front end that stays settled instead of diving and squirming when you stand on it with the car loaded.
About the Hollow front brake kit
The Hollow front brake kit pairs a hollow-bodied caliper, lighter as standard at each unsprung corner, with a vented two-piece floating disc whose construction trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle without giving up the swept area a heavy MPV needs. The bigger disc pairs with an alloy big-brake caliper that clamps a wider pad and spreads heat more evenly than the two-piece OE front caliper it replaces. Calipers are finished in your choice of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange offered as upgrades, plus a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty for serious track use. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the kit to how the car is actually driven. The components are sized for the Touran MK1 front end specifically, not carried over from another VW application.
Fitment for the Volkswagen Touran MK1 (2003-2015)
This kit fits the Volkswagen Touran MK1 across the 2003 to 2015 production run. Note the important caveat carried in the listing: it is for models fitted with the two-piece OE front caliper only. Confirm which front caliper your car runs before ordering, as that is the determining factor for this kit. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bells can be upgraded to two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium at checkout.

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.
