Fits Audi QUATTRO SPORT (1980-1987)

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 — Audi QUATTRO SPORT (1980-1987) — 330 mm
330 mm

Forty-odd years after leaving Ingolstadt, the Ur-Quattro remains one of the more demanding cars to maintain at its performance ceiling. The turbocharged five-cylinder pulls hard from low revs, the quattro drivetrain delivers traction that most contemporaries could not approach, and the front braking hardware was specced for road use in 1980, not for how these cars are actually being driven in 2026.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Audi QUATTRO SPORT closes that gap. It fits as a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs across the front axle, with a compound ladder covering everything from careful preservation road driving to committed circuit use, all running on the same caliper installation.

What this brake kit does for your 1980-1987 Audi QUATTRO SPORT

Upgrading the front braking hardware addresses the thermal load that period components were never built to manage under sustained use. The all-wheel-drive system gives this car more cornering grip and exit traction than its brakes were originally balanced against, and modern hardware restores that balance. The hollow-vane discs move heat out of the friction surface faster than the original solid rotors, the two-piece floating construction lets the disc expand without warping the bell, and the lighter assembly trims rotating and unsprung mass off the front corners. Braided lines are included to firm up the pedal.

Three pad compounds tune the kit to use. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for preservation driving and low-intensity road use. Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road work or occasional circuit exposure. Racing is a full track compound for owners who need consistent stopping performance across multiple sessions. The caliper finish makes the hardware a visible detail through the wheel spokes rather than an anonymous addition. Included painted colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost.

About the front brake kit

This is XYZ Racing’s front brake kit for cars requiring a substantive step up from original-equipment hardware. The calipers are hollow-bodied as standard for strength without excess weight, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for sustained track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The step between compound grades matters in both directions, since a Racing pad runs cold and noisy until it reaches its working window, which makes Sport the right call for a QUATTRO SPORT dividing its time between road and the occasional track day.

Beyond the included painted finishes, a Custom Color in any Pantone is available, along with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre-bell upgrades, two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium, are selectable at checkout.

Fitment for the Audi QUATTRO SPORT (1980-1987)

This kit is specified for the Audi QUATTRO SPORT across the full 1980-1987 production span. The date range covers several revisions to the quattro platform; if you have any uncertainty about your exact build specification, verify against the XYZ Racing fitment data before ordering. This is a front-axle kit only.

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.
