Fits Volvo S60 MK2 (HUB (2010-2018)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Volvo S60 MK2 (HUB (2010-2018) — 356 mm
356 mm

The P3-platform Volvo S60 MK2 carries most of its mass over the front axle, and that bias falls hardest on the front brakes the moment you start using the chassis in anger. The standard discs cope fine with road duty, but stack up a few hard stops from motorway speed, or a string of laps in a T5 or a T6 Polestar, and the pedal starts to go long. This XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit for the Volvo S60 MK2 (2010-2018) swaps that fade-prone front end for a setup built to take repeated heat without softening.

It is a front-axle kit: a matched pair of left and right front calipers and two-piece floating front discs, the corner where a front-driven executive saloon does the bulk of its braking work. Pick the pad compound that matches how you drive and the same hardware suits a fast-road daily or a car that sees regular track time.

What this big brake kit does for your 2010-2018 Volvo S60 MK2

After fitting, the first thing you feel is a firmer, more progressive pedal that does not creep toward the floor as the discs heat up. The extra thermal capacity at the front means the brakes recover between stops instead of glazing the pads and cooking the fluid, which is exactly the failure mode owners of heavy front-biased Volvos hit on a track day. The two-piece floating discs use a hollow-vane core that trims rotating and unsprung mass at each front corner, sharpening turn-in and letting the dampers work over broken surfaces.

Pad compound is your call. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default. Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road with the odd track day. Racing is the full track compound for cars that see real session time. The net result is more braking confidence and a front end that holds its performance once the temperature climbs.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a front-axle upgrade, not a like-for-like service swap. The discs are two-piece and floating, with a hollow-vane core that removes material where it does nothing for braking, cutting rotating mass and improving airflow over the friction surface. Disc face is drilled or slotted at the same price, so the choice comes down to looks and feel. Centre bell upgrades are on the table too: two-tone anodizing in five colours, or titanium, both selectable when you order.

The calipers are hollow-body as standard. Included painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, or you can specify any Pantone code as a Custom Color. The premium tier covers polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, plus candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. For serious track use there is a Hollow Racing caliper option that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Because this kit targets the front specifically, it is the natural partner to a rear kit on the same S60, letting you build a balanced system rather than overbraking one end.

Fitment for the Volvo S60 MK2 (2010-2018)

This kit is a front-axle fitment for the Volvo S60 MK2 across the 2010 to 2018 model years. It is supplied as a front big brake kit only, addressing the corner that does the most work on this platform. Confirm your exact build year when you order so the front fitment matches your car.

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.
