XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Honda ACCORD CF (1998-2002)

Front-wheel-drive saloons lean hard on the front axle under braking, and on the Honda Accord CF the factory hardware can run short of confidence when the car is being driven with any real intent. The XYZ Racing front big brake kit is built for the CF generation specifically, covering the full 1998-2002 production run in saloon and Tourer form.

This is the upgrade for CF Accord owners who have felt that soft pedal under sustained hard braking, the kind that builds on a fast A-road or compounds across a track-day morning. Three pad compounds mean the kit can be specced to match actual usage rather than aspirational usage.

What this brake kit does for your 1998-2002 Honda ACCORD CF

The CF Accord’s layout places the front brakes under serious load whenever the car is pushed. All the braking mass transfer happens at the nose, with the rear doing comparatively little. The hollow-vane disc reduces rotating mass at each front corner while increasing the disc’s capacity to shed heat, both of which translate to shorter, more consistent stops. Street gives a firmer, more direct pedal than factory without altering how the car behaves on a cold morning commute, and stays quiet and low-dust. Sport suits the driver who uses the CF regularly on quick roads and wants fade resistance as the default. Racing is for circuit use in earnest, its bite coming on temperature rather than a daily-driver choice. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the front big brake kit

The hollow-vane disc removes material from the disc body where it contributes least to braking rigidity, cutting rotating mass without compromising the swept surface. At sustained pace, repeated braking zones, a long downhill section, anything that builds heat in a stock system, that thermal headroom separates confident braking from a progressively softening pedal. The kit ships as a matched pair of front calipers and discs. The caliper is a hollow-body design as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C, supplied without a dust cover and carrying a two-year warranty, for serious track use.

Included caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, a visible statement under a CF Accord’s factory alloy or aftermarket wheel. 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 the painted set. Pad grades run from Street through Sport to Racing, so one hardware purchase covers multiple setups depending on how the car is being used that weekend. Centre bell upgrades are offered in five anodized two-tone colours or titanium, selectable at checkout.

Fitment for the Honda ACCORD CF (1998-2002)

This front kit is matched to the Honda Accord CF chassis as sold across the UK from 1998 through to the end of 2002 production, shipping as a matched pair of front calipers and discs. The CF designation covers the sixth-generation European Accord in both saloon and Tourer bodystyles, across the petrol engine range offered in that market. If the car has had any previous front hub or brake conversion work, verify compatibility against the XYZ specification sheet before ordering.
