Fits Honda CIVIC EG (1991-1995)

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 — Honda CIVIC EG (1991-1995) — 286 mm
286 mm

Honda sized the EG Civic’s factory front brakes for a car that left the production line weighing under a tonne and producing around 90 horsepower in its most common form. Three decades of B-series engine swaps, aero additions, and increasingly sticky front rubber have made that original brake specification the obvious constraint on almost every EG that sees hard use. On track, the standard calipers and rotors reach their thermal limit before the driver does.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Honda Civic EG (1991-1995) replaces that hardware at the axle where the EG’s front-wheel-drive layout concentrates the bulk of its braking energy. Three pad compounds span Street through Sport to Racing, and a caliper finished to your choice gives EG owners the flexibility to build something coherent from front wheel to inner arch.

What this brake kit does for your 1991-1995 Honda Civic EG

The EG’s front axle handles a disproportionate share of braking load given the FWD layout, and on any EG with its power output, grip, or both increased beyond standard, the stock front brakes reach their limits quickly in sustained sessions. The hollow-vane disc draws air through internal channels as the disc rotates, managing heat build-up and recovering faster between braking zones than a conventional vented disc. The three pad compounds mean the same kit serves a road car used lightly and occasionally on circuit, or a stripped track machine where consistent cold bite and high-temperature durability both matter. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default; Sport adds bite and heat range; Racing is the dedicated circuit compound. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, and the front corners can be specced to suit the rest of the build.

About the front big brake kit

The kit takes its character from the hollow-vane disc: internally vented channels that draw cooling air across the rotor face during rotation, accelerating thermal recovery between braking events. For a lightweight FWD chassis like the EG Civic, where front tyre grip and braking load move together under hard driving, managing rotor temperature is the limiting factor that serious brakes address first. 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 dedicated track cars.

Three pad compounds are available when you order: Street for predominantly road use, Sport for mixed-use builds with circuit days in the calendar, and Racing for cars that need consistent performance from a cold start through to sustained operating temperature. Included caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost. 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. Centre bell upgrades are offered in five anodized two-tone colours or titanium, selectable at checkout.

Fitment for the Honda Civic EG (1991-1995)

This front brake kit is listed for the Honda Civic EG platform, covering the fifth-generation Civic built between 1991 and 1995, and ships as a matched pair of front calipers and discs. The EG range included three-door and five-door hatchback body styles alongside coupé variants, with engine options running from base D-series units through to the 1.6-litre B16A VTEC found in SiR specification. Front brake specifications varied across the range depending on trim level and market, so confirm your existing caliper bracket and rotor diameter 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.
