Caliper render for this kit:

The XE10 IS 200’s factory front braking hardware was sized for a refined cruiser, not for the car most owners actually build it into. Push hard on a fast descending B-road or carry the car deep into a late-braking zone on circuit, and the stock setup shows its limits well before the XE10’s chassis runs out of composure. The XYZ Racing Hollow front brake kit addresses exactly that gap: a direct-fit front upgrade, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs, that brings more consistent bite and better thermal headroom to a car that genuinely rewards the commitment to brake later.
Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, mean you configure the kit around how the car actually gets used rather than settling for a one-size compound that compromises one condition for another.
What this brake kit does for your 1998-2005 Lexus IS 200 (XE10)
The IS 200’s rear-wheel-drive balance rewards trail-braking into corners, a technique the factory front end never quite encouraged. With the Hollow kit in place, initial bite sharpens and the usable temperature window widens, which matters when you brake later into a tight hairpin and need the front wheels to load up progressively rather than lock. The hollow-vane disc sheds heat through the rotor body between stops. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for everyday road use; Sport shifts the thermal profile higher for spirited fast-road driving; Racing extends that window further for anyone running the XE10 in sprint or club-level events where repeated heavy stops are routine. Caliper colour is included in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost, sitting visibly behind open-spoke wheels. Custom Color matches any Pantone for £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange.
About the Hollow front brake kit
The Hollow series is a complete front brake kit engineered as a direct replacement for the IS 200’s factory hardware, covering the full XE10 span. The two-piece floating disc lets the rotor expand cleanly under heat, and braided lines keep the pedal firm. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for sprint and circuit use, no dust cover, rated to 1000C, two-year warranty. The three pad compounds let the same kit serve a daily-driven IS 200 through to one used regularly on track: Street covers everyday road use; Sport shifts the thermal profile slightly higher for spirited fast-road driving; Racing is the specification to reach for when fade under repeated hard stops becomes a genuine concern. Caliper colour is included across Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black, with Custom Color and premium finishes alongside, so the result matches wheel choice or build direction without compromising fitment quality. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized centre bells in five colours or titanium selectable at checkout.
Fitment for the Lexus IS 200 (XE10) (1998-2005)
This kit covers the Lexus IS 200 XE10 platform across its full span, 1998 to 2005. The front configuration targets the axle that carries the majority of braking load on this rear-wheel-drive chassis. Confirm your car is the IS 200 XE10, not the IS 300 or an Altezza-market variant, before selecting your compound and caliper colour.

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.
