XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Honda INTEGRA DC2 TYPE-R (1998-2000)

The DC2 Type R’s front axle does a disproportionate amount of work every time you brake. Carrying the B18C engine over the front wheels and channelling drive through that same axle, the standard hardware copes well on the road but runs out of headroom on circuit, particularly towards the end of a session when temperatures have been building corner by corner for thirty minutes. The fade that creeps in under those conditions is manageable once, noticeable twice, and genuinely lap-ruining by the third or fourth outing.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the front axle, leaving the factory rear brakes in place. The choice of three pad compounds is the critical spec: most DC2 owners run their car on road and circuit without wanting to pull wheels at the gate, and matching friction character to how hard you are pushing is how the kit earns its keep.

What this brake kit does for your 1998-2000 Honda INTEGRA DC2 TYPE-R

A larger disc changes the lever arm the caliper operates against, and on a sub-1,100kg front-driver that translates directly into stronger retardation for a given pedal load. The front brakes carry the overwhelming share of braking duty under hard deceleration, so upgrading here rather than at the rear respects that physics. The hollow-vane disc face draws cooling air through the rotor and keeps the pedal linear even as temperatures climb into territory that overwhelms standard pads. The two-piece disc pairs a forged alloy centre bell with a floating iron friction ring, trimming rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle while retaining the thermal mass to withstand sustained hard stops.

Three pad compounds are available from the outset: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for road-biased running, Sport covers fast roads and occasional track exposure, and Racing is there for the driver who commits to circuit use and accepts a cold-bite penalty in exchange for consistent high-temperature performance.

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 dedicated circuit 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.

Fitment for the Honda INTEGRA DC2 TYPE-R (1998-2000)

This kit covers the Honda Integra DC2 Type R built between 1998 and 2000, the later-series DC2 with its revised front end over the earlier 1994-1997 cars. Front axle fitment only; the rear brakes remain standard, which preserves the factory front-biased balance that works correctly on a FWD chassis and suits the trail-braking technique experienced DC2 drivers reach for instinctively. Confirm your chassis code if you are referencing a DC2 outside this specific production window.
