Caliper render for this kit:
Britain’s fleet managers never quite appreciated the Omega B. Badge snobbery pushed buyers towards BMW E39s and Audi A6s, leaving a capable rear-wheel drive saloon defined by its company-car image rather than its actual dynamics. In 3.0 V6 form that means a car weighing over 1,500 kg with front brakes calibrated for fleet-typical duty, not for the enthusiasts who now seek the Omega B out specifically for its RWD balance and V6 refinement.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the 1994-2003 Omega B upgrades that front axle for owners who use the car beyond its original brief. It fits as a single front-axle pair, left and right, and three pad compounds cover the range from daily-driven road miles to sustained circuit work without requiring a separate setup for each.
What this brake kit does for your 1994-2003 Opel OMEGA B
Carrying over 1,500 kg from motorway speeds repeatedly is a significant ask of any front braking setup, and the Omega B’s long wheelbase concentrates deceleration loads at the front axle in ways that accumulate heat faster than a shorter, lighter car. Larger discs spread that load over more swept area, and the two-piece floating disc construction keeps the friction ring flat under heat while shedding rotating and unsprung mass off the front corners.
Three compounds address that spread of demand. Street gives the quiet, low-dust, progressive feel that suits everyday driving. Sport sharpens bite and widens the heat range for the A-road pace the V6 naturally encourages. Racing holds its characteristics at sustained elevated temperatures where standard pads would fade or glaze. Braided stainless lines come as part of the kit, so the firmer pedal the larger discs deliver is not lost through flexing rubber hoses.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
This is XYZ Racing’s performance front brake offering for the Omega B, covering disc and caliper hardware in a fitment-specific package sized to the platform. The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry to draw airflow through the rotor and pull heat out of the braking zone, and the caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard. An optional Hollow Racing upgrade removes the dust cover, carries a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty for owners running serious track miles.
Pad compound is selected at the point of purchase, letting buyers commit to a compound that reflects how the car is actually used rather than defaulting to a single compromise. Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone shade is available for £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with a two-tone centre bell in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout.
Fitment for the Opel OMEGA B (1994-2003)
This kit covers the front axle of the Opel Omega B across the full 1994 to 2003 production run, in both saloon and estate body styles. The Omega B was sold in the UK as the Vauxhall Omega and shares the same front brake architecture across both badges. If your car was supplied with factory-option uprated brakes, confirm the front brake specification matches the standard setup before ordering.

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.
