Caliper render for this kit:
The V60 MK2 carries its weight high and well forward, a long-wheelbase SPA estate that, in T8 Polestar Engineered form, asks its front axle to haul the best part of two tonnes down from motorway speed again and again. The factory single-piston sliding calipers cope fine with a school run, but lean on them down an Alpine descent or across a track session and the pedal goes long as the discs heat-soak.
This is where the XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit earns its place on the V60 MK2. It replaces the front corners with a higher-capacity caliper and two-piece floating discs that shed heat faster and add far more thermal headroom than the standard setup, so the bite stays consistent when the family estate is being driven like the 300bhp-plus car it actually is. The kit is a matched pair: left and right front calipers and discs.
What this big brake kit does for your 2018-2026 Volvo V60 MK2
The first thing you feel is a firmer, more linear pedal. The bigger front clamp gives you finer modulation when you are trail-braking a heavy estate into a corner rather than just hauling it straight. The hollow-vane disc core cuts rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle, which sharpens turn-in and helps the dampers settle faster over broken B-road surfaces. On repeated hard stops the extra thermal mass resists fade, so a B5 or T8 V60 holds its braking distances on lap three the way it did on lap one.
Pad compound matches the kit to how the car is used. Street is the quiet, low-dust default. Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road plus the odd circuit lap. Racing is the full track compound built to hold friction at the temperatures a track day generates.
About the Hollow front brake kit
The kit is built around a two-piece floating front disc with a hollow-vane core that increases the surface area working to dump heat while keeping rotational weight down, a meaningful gain on a nose-heavy car that does most of its braking through the front wheels. It pairs with a fixed-mount caliper offering a larger, more even pad footprint than the sliding factory unit, for steadier clamping pressure and more predictable wear.
Disc face is drilled or slotted at the same price, with centre bell upgrades, two-tone anodizing in five colours or titanium, selectable when you order. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, finished in the included painted colours Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with any Pantone available as a Custom Color and premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver or candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The Hollow Racing caliper, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty, covers sustained circuit use. Everything is sized as a direct front-axle upgrade for this chassis rather than a universal part shimmed to fit.
Fitment for the Volvo V60 MK2 (2018-2026)
This kit is specified for the second-generation (MK2) Volvo V60 built on the SPA platform, covering the 2018 to 2026 model years. It is a front-axle fitment across the B-badged mild-hybrid and T-series petrol and T8 plug-in hybrid variants in that span. Confirm your exact build year when you order.

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.
