XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Honda HR-V/ VEZEL (FWD) (2013-2021)

The GK-generation Honda HR-V and Vezel share a capable front-wheel-drive platform with the Jazz/Fit underpinnings Honda refined over multiple generations, but the crossover body brings a meaningful weight penalty and a higher centre of gravity than the hatchback it borrowed its bones from. Under hard braking, that raised mass pitches forward and concentrates load onto the front axle. Honda’s single-piston sliding calipers were calibrated for daily duty; they reach their thermal ceiling quickly when the car is used with conviction on a mountain descent or during a morning of club sprints.

Filling that gap, this XYZ Racing front big brake kit is a direct-fit upgrade for the 2013-2021 HR-V and Vezel in FWD specification. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, with the factory rear brakes retained so the balance stays correct.

What this brake kit does for your 2013-2021 Honda HR-V/ VEZEL (FWD)

Upgrading the front brakes on a FWD crossover is where the performance return is highest, because the front axle carries both the primary braking load and the additional weight transfer under deceleration. The kit increases caliper clamping force at the front, shortening stopping distances and raising the threshold before fade becomes a factor. The hollow-vane disc face keeps cooling air moving through the rotor, and 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.

Three pad compounds match the kit to use: Street is the quiet, low-dust default with progressive feel across a wide temperature range, useful on a car that mixes commuting with the occasional spirited outing, Sport sharpens bite appreciably for harder driving, and Racing is the track compound rated for the higher heat cycles a sprint or circuit environment generates.

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 track or competition 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 selectable when you order. The front-only format is deliberate on a FWD platform, concentrating the upgrade at the axle that does the majority of the braking work.
