Caliper render for this kit:

The Omega A’s combination of executive kerb weight and genuine rear-wheel-drive performance potential, particularly in 3.0 litre 24-valve form with the C30SE, exposed the front brake specification as its most obvious limiting factor under sustained load. Stock hardware coped adequately with motorway driving and unhurried B-roads. Ask it to haul the Omega down repeatedly from speed and the margins tighten considerably.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Opel Omega (1986-1993) replaces that front assembly with a matched pair of larger discs and forged calipers and a choice of three pad compounds matched to how the car is actually being driven. The result is braking capacity that meets what the Omega A’s mass and drivetrain potential demand of the front axle.
What this brake kit does for your 1986-1993 Opel OMEGA
Larger discs at the front axle spread each stop over more swept area, while the two-piece floating disc construction cuts rotating and unsprung mass off corners where the original hardware was substantial. On the Omega A that shows up through the steering as much as the pedal, the front end responding more cleanly to direction changes. Heat management was the stock front setup’s primary weakness under repeated heavy application. The hollow-vane disc structure draws airflow through the rotor and dissipates heat more effectively, maintaining consistent pedal feel across the kind of sustained fast-road run these saloons were built around.
Three pad compounds let owners match braking character precisely to use. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily urban running. Sport sharpens response and widens the heat range for regular fast-road work. Racing is formulated for the higher sustained temperatures generated in circuit or hill-climb use. Braided stainless lines are included, firming the pedal that the larger discs already deliver, and the floating discs keep the rotor true across heat cycles.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry that achieves two things at once: airflow drawn through the rotor body for improved thermal management, and lower rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade that removes the dust cover, carries a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty for owners running circuit or hill-climb heat.
Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, giving full control over how the upgrade presents itself through the wheel. 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 available at checkout. The kit targets the front axle specifically, where the Omega A’s mass distribution makes brake capacity most critical.
Fitment for the Opel OMEGA (1986-1993)
This kit covers the Opel Omega across the 1986 to 1993 model years, the Omega A generation, which ran in the UK market as the Vauxhall Carlton on the same platform. Confirm your front axle configuration and any existing brake modifications before selecting pad compound and caliper finish, as this kit is specified for front fitment only.

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.
