Caliper render for this kit:
The Scorpio MK2 is a car Britain never quite forgave for its headlights, yet in 2.9 Biturbo form it produced 207bhp through the rear wheels at a time when that put it in company with properly sporting machinery. The standard front brakes were sized for executive saloon duty, competent on public roads but not what you want when the drivetrain is actually being used. Heat soak, extended pedal travel under repeated hard stops, and fade as disc temperatures climb are the familiar complaints from owners who push the bigger-engined cars.
XYZ Racing’s front big brake kit upgrades the Ford Scorpio MK2’s front axle with a compound-specific pad system and a caliper finished to your choice. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, let you spec the kit to your actual use pattern rather than compromising between daily driveability and track-day capability.
What this brake kit does for your 1995-1998 Ford Scorpio MK2
On a rear-wheel-drive executive carrying the mass the Scorpio MK2 does, front braking load is significant, and the thermal headroom this kit adds over the OEM setup makes the difference measurable. The Sport compound delivers stronger, more consistent bite, relevant on early-morning fast roads where worn factory pads take several stops to fully come on song. Step to the Racing compound and the kit holds consistent feel through the temperature cycles that push standard hardware into fade. The hollow-vane disc improves heat rejection over the original Ford setup, extending the operating window before thermal degradation affects pedal feel. Street, the quiet low-dust default, suits the car that mostly commutes. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price.
About the front big brake kit
XYZ Racing’s front big brake kit is built for road and track crossover use, and the disc design prioritises heat management, critical for any car where the stock braking hardware is being asked to operate beyond its intended duty. The caliper is a hollow-body design as standard. For owners taking the 2.9 Biturbo onto circuit regularly, the optional Hollow Racing upgrade is rated to 1000C, runs without a dust cover, and carries a two-year warranty.
Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, so the modification reads from outside the car without any further work. A Custom Color in any Pantone is available for an added charge, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, and a candy range in Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange above that. Centre bell upgrades come in five anodized two-tone colours or titanium, selectable at checkout.
Fitment for the Ford Scorpio MK2 (1995-1998)
This front big brake kit is built for the Ford Scorpio MK2 across the full 1995-1998 production run and ships as a matched pair of front calipers and discs. If your Scorpio has had previous brake work, such as carrier modifications or uprated hub adapters, confirm the front hub geometry remains to standard specification before ordering.

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.
