Caliper render for this kit:
Honda’s Element never pretended to be a sports car, but its K24-powered AWD variant tips the scales at close to 1,600kg, and that weight climbs further once the vehicle is loaded, which, given the flat-folding rear floor and wide rear aperture, tends to happen regularly. Honda calibrated the standard front brakes for light daily use; the equation shifts when the vehicle is laden, the descent is long, or the driver is pushing harder than the leisure-vehicle engineers originally anticipated.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit fits the complete 2003-2011 Honda Element production run. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, leaving the factory rear brakes in place so the balance stays correct, and replacing the front setup with hardware that handles repeat hard stops without the progressive confidence loss that follows sustained heat build-up in OE-spec parts.
What this brake kit does for your 2003-2011 Honda ELEMENT
The hollow-vane disc face lets cooling air move through the rotor body rather than letting heat accumulate at the surface, keeping operating temperatures in check across sustained braking, exactly the scenario an Element meets on a loaded drive through hilly UK roads. The two-piece disc pairs a forged alloy centre bell with a floating iron friction ring, trimming rotating and unsprung mass at the front corner on a vehicle that asks a lot of its front axle when laden.
Three pad compounds span the realistic use cases: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for everyday commuting, Sport adds bite and fade resistance for spirited driving, and Racing is the track compound for days where stock pads quickly find their limit.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper body is hollow as standard, forged to keep mass down while staying rigid under clamp load. For owners pushing into sustained track use, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.
Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color matched to any Pantone is £150. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, with candy finishes in Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, all visible through the wheel and all selectable when you order, which, given the Element’s dedicated modifier following, is often part of the brief.
Fitment for the Honda ELEMENT (2003-2011)
This kit covers the Honda Element across the complete 2003-2011 production run, encompassing both FWD and AWD (Real Time 4WD) configurations. Front axle fitment only; confirm no prior caliper or bracket modifications have been made before ordering, and verify your Element’s front disc specification against the technical data 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.
