Fits Volvo XC60 MK1(HUB (2008-2017)

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.

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 XC60 MK1(HUB (2008-2017) — 356 mm
356 mm

The first-generation XC60 is a heavy car. At close to two tonnes, with a forward weight bias and a tall body, the factory front brakes work hard on a quick B-road or a long Alpine descent, and they go soft once the heat builds. The XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit for the Volvo XC60 Mk1 (2008-2017) attacks that weak point with larger front discs and a fixed-mount caliper that copes with the temperatures a 1,800kg SUV generates under repeated stops.

This is a front big brake kit, a matched pair of left and right front calipers and two-piece floating discs, for owners who actually use the pace the T5, T6 and D5 cars carry: motorway speeds, towing weight, the occasional track day in a car that hides its mass well until you ask it to stop. Pick the pad compound that matches how hard the XC60 gets driven.

What this big brake kit does for your 2008-2017 Volvo XC60

Fit the kit and the first thing you notice is pedal feel. A fixed front caliper clamping a larger disc gives a firmer, more progressive pedal than the sliding factory setup, which makes a heavy XC60 far easier to place into a roundabout or a downhill corner. The bigger swept area and increased thermal mass keep the front axle biting when the standard brakes would already be fading, so the third hard stop feels like the first.

Pad compound is your call. Street stays quiet and clean for daily use. Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road with the odd track day. Racing brings bite that survives sustained track-day heat. Behind the spokes, the caliper finish runs from a discreet Anodized Black through Red, Yellow and Gold, with any Pantone available as a Custom Color, so the upgrade reads as deliberate.

About the Hollow front brake kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a bolt-on front upgrade rather than a universal caliper hunting for a bracket. The Hollow front kit pairs an oversized two-piece floating front disc with a fixed-mount caliper and a chassis-specific mounting bracket, so the geometry is correct for the XC60’s hub. The hollow-vane disc core sheds rotating weight at the front axle, which helps a nose-heavy SUV settle and lets the discs heat and cool more evenly across hard use.

Disc face is drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades, two-tone anodizing in five colours or titanium, are selectable when you order. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with the included painted finishes Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The Hollow Racing caliper, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty, is the serious-track option. Pad compound spans Street, Sport and Racing. Everything in the box is specified for the front axle of this Volvo XC60, not adapted from another platform.

Fitment for the Volvo XC60 (2008-2017)

This kit is specified for the first-generation Volvo XC60 (Mk1) built from 2008 to 2017 and mounts to the front axle. Fitment is tied to this chassis and its hub, so the bracket and disc are matched to the standard front geometry. Confirm your wheel diameter against the clearance notes, then select your disc style, pad compound and caliper finish 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.
