XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Honda NSX (1990-2005)

The Honda NSX’s all-aluminium monocoque kept its kerb weight below 1,380kg through a sixteen-year production run, extraordinary for a car of its performance level, but the original front brake specification was sized for road use, not for the track days the NA1 and NA2 have become synonymous with. Original Akebono hardware on a car now between twenty-one and thirty-five years old struggles to meet the expectations of any NSX being driven with real intent.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Honda NSX (1990-2005) replaces the front braking hardware in a single fitment rather than patching an ageing system incrementally. Pad compound and caliper colour are chosen when you order, matching the spec to how the car is actually used.

What this brake kit does for your 1990-2005 Honda NSX

The NSX’s rear-biased weight distribution concentrates deceleration load on the front axle as weight transfers forward under hard braking, a dynamic that stays within comfortable margins at road pace but stretches original-spec rotor and caliper capacity quickly on circuit. The two-piece floating discs draw heat out of the disc face faster than the factory ventilated units, keeping pedal feel consistent through a session that the original hardware would not survive without fade. Three pad compounds let the setup be matched precisely to the car’s role. Street is the quiet, low-dust road compound, Sport adds bite and a wider heat range for spirited fast-road driving and occasional track work, and Racing is the full track compound for full-commitment days. Caliper colour is set when you order, with Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black included at no extra cost, covering both the factory-finish NSX and the car built with fewer concessions to subtlety.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, keeping rotating mass low while the two-piece floating discs and braided lines manage temperatures during the sustained braking events the NSX encounters at circuit pace. For serious track use the optional Hollow Racing caliper removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. 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. Beyond the included caliper colours, Custom Color matches any Pantone for £150, with premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) available for restorations keeping the understated factory look or builds that make no apologies for standing out.

Fitment for the Honda NSX (1990-2005)

This front brake kit is confirmed for the Honda NSX across the full NA1 and NA2 production run, from the 3.0-litre C30A-engined cars of 1990 through to the 3.2-litre C32B variants that continued to 2005. Both Targa and fixed-roof body styles are covered within this fitment. If previous brake modifications have already been made to the front axle, confirm current rotor diameter and caliper clearance before ordering.
