XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mitsubishi EVO7 (2002-2003)

The CT9A platform’s AWD traction is ruthlessly effective, putting the 4G63T’s output down with a grip level that builds real speed quickly. That efficiency means there is a lot of kinetic energy to manage at the end of a straight or through a long braking zone, and the factory hardware, calibrated around a 276bhp road car, starts to show its limits as soon as tuning begins in earnest. Fade on a hot track, inconsistent pedal feel after a few sessions, and creeping uncertainty under trail-braking into a tight corner are the symptoms EVO7 owners learn to recognise.

This XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit for the Mitsubishi EVO7 (2002-2003) addresses that gap directly. It is a front-axle upgrade, a matched pair of left and right front calipers and discs. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, match the specification to how the car is actually used, and the included caliper colours mean the setup can be as understated or as visible as the build demands.

What this brake kit does for your 2002-2003 Mitsubishi EVO7

The hollow-vane disc construction improves thermal dissipation over a conventional solid disc, drawing heat out of the friction interface and reducing the temperature rise that leads to fade, and the lighter rotor trims rotating and unsprung mass off the front axle. On a tuned CT9A, where power figures routinely climb well past the factory ceiling and AWD traction means the front brakes work hard through back-to-back corners, that cooling capacity matters as much at the end of a session as at the start. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default with a progressive, predictable feel that suits the EVO7’s front-heavy braking on the road. Sport raises the bite and heat range for spirited road work and light track use. Racing holds consistent bite at sustained temperatures the stock Brembos would find increasingly difficult to manage.

About the Hollow brake kit

The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, paired with internally vented two-piece floating rotors whose channels maximise airflow through the braking surface, keeping friction temperatures more consistent over extended use than a solid rotor can achieve. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, plumbed on braided lines for a firm pedal. The front kit is supplied with three pad grades: Street for daily and occasional fast-road driving, Sport for spirited road work and light trackday use, and Racing for circuit sessions where temperatures are pushed repeatedly. For serious track use an optional Hollow Racing caliper upgrade is offered, run without a dust cover, rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty. Caliper colour is included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, with a Custom Color to any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The kit is a front-axle upgrade, the axle where braking loads on the EVO7 are heaviest and where consistent, fade-resistant performance has the most direct effect on confidence under braking.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi EVO7 (2002-2003)

This kit is confirmed for the Mitsubishi EVO7 across the 2002-2003 production run of the CT9A chassis, covering the front axle. If your car has been fitted with non-standard hubs or knuckle components sourced from a later EVO generation, verify caliper clearances before ordering; aftermarket conversion parts can affect fitment in ways the standard chassis specification does not anticipate.
