Fits Audi A1 1.4 TFSI (8X) (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (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.

286 mm

The Audi A1 8X did not arrive as a homogeneous product. The 1.4 TFSI came in multiple equipment levels, and the front caliper specification varied with them. The two-piece arrangement found on certain variants is the defining compatibility condition for this kit. This XYZ Racing front brake kit is built around that caliper configuration, upgrading the front discs and calipers and opening up pad compound selection for the cars that ran the two-piece OE setup from the factory.

Covering the full 2010-2018 run of the 8X, the kit gives owners three pad compounds and a wide range of caliper finishes, supplied as a matched front-axle pair.

What this brake kit does for your 2010-2018 Audi A1 1.4 TFSI

Front-wheel-drive cars carry the braking burden at one axle, and on an A1 in harder use, a circuit morning, a long fast descent, a back-road run pushed beyond touring pace, the front discs are working consistently. Larger discs with hollow-vane cooling manage heat under sustained stops, and the hollow-body caliper cuts unsprung mass at the corner. Two-piece floating discs let the rotor grow with temperature without warping against the bell, so pedal feel holds through a session.

Three pad compounds match the operating window to use. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for the 8X that spends most of its life on road with occasional spirited outings. Sport extends the effective ceiling for regular fast-road or track-day driving. Racing is calibrated for the sustained heat that builds through repeated circuit braking zones. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines firm the pedal. Caliper colour matters when the front wheels are open enough to put the hardware on display.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, cutting unsprung and rotating mass at the corner while staying rigid under load. The three compounds span standard-grade road use through to dedicated circuit application, with Sport sitting between for owners who want more than OE feel without a racing-specific calibration. For regular track use, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.

Calipers are painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color in any Pantone shade is £150. Premium polished-forged finishes come in Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, with candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange. Centre bells can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium. The kit is engineered for the A1 8X front axle and is specific to models running the two-piece OE caliper, with everything selectable above when you order.

Fitment for the Audi A1 1.4 TFSI (2010-2018)

This kit covers the Audi A1 8X in 1.4 TFSI specification across the 2010-2018 range, supplied as a matched front-axle pair. The critical fitment condition is caliper type: compatibility is limited to 8X A1 models equipped with a two-piece OE front caliper. The caliper design is directly visible through the wheel, and your car’s original build specification or a VIN-based parts lookup will also confirm which type is fitted. Do not order this kit for a car running single-piece sliding front calipers, as the hardware is not interchangeable between caliper configurations.

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.
