Caliper render for this kit:
The second-generation XC90 is a genuinely heavy car. In T8 plug-in hybrid form it clears two tonnes before passengers, and most of that mass sits forward, over the front axle. The XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit for the Volvo XC90 MK2 (2015-2026) targets the single hardest task a large SUV asks of its brakes: shedding heat without fade on long motorway descents, repeated heavy stops, or when the car is loaded with seven up and a full boot.
This is a front-axle upgrade, a matched pair of left and right front calipers and discs, built around larger two-piece floating rotors and a fixed caliper, with the friction compound chosen to match how the car actually gets used. Pick the pad that suits your driving and the same hardware suits a daily family hauler or a harder-driven setup.
What this big brake kit does for your 2015-2026 Volvo XC90 MK2
A bigger front rotor adds thermal mass, and on a 2,000kg-plus SUV that directly translates to more stops before the pedal goes long. The hollow-vane disc core vents heat faster than a solid casting and trims a little rotating weight off the front corners, which the nose-heavy SPA platform feels as slightly crisper turn-in. The fixed caliper resists flex under load, so brake pressure firms up and stays consistent rather than softening as temperatures climb.
For owners who tow, carry a full house, or simply want more reassurance hauling a big Volvo down from speed, that is the difference you notice first. Pad compound spans Street for everyday road use, Sport for keener fast-road driving and the odd track day, and Racing for sustained high-temperature work.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The kit is a front-position assembly pairing a large vented, two-piece floating rotor with a hollow-vane core and a fixed caliper to replace the standard sliding setup. Friction is specified at point of order across three compounds: Street for everyday road use, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing for sustained circuit heat.
Disc face is drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades, two-tone anodizing in five colours or titanium, are selectable at checkout. 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 a premium tier of polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver plus candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The Hollow Racing caliper, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty, covers serious track use. The emphasis throughout is heat management and consistent pedal feel on a vehicle whose weight works the front brakes hardest.

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.
