XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Opel TIGRA (1994-2000)

The Tigra’s appeal in the mid-1990s, and increasingly now as these small coupés reach cult-classic status, was always its weight. At under 1,000 kg on the original Corsa B platform, the 1.6 16v variant felt noticeably nimble in a way that larger contemporary coupés could not match. The brakes, however, came straight from that same economy-car parts bin, sized for a Vauxhall Corsa’s daily duties rather than the more committed driving the Tigra’s chassis invites.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that mismatch directly, bringing front-axle stopping hardware up to the standard the rest of the car warrants. It fits as a single front-axle pair, left and right, and three pad compounds mean the same installation covers weekend fast-road use through to circuit sessions.

What this brake kit does for your 1994-2000 Opel TIGRA

The immediate gain is front-axle bite that matches the Tigra’s light kerb weight rather than lagging behind it. The larger hollow-vane discs improve heat dissipation across the friction face, pushing back the fade onset that becomes apparent when you carry speed into repeated corners on a quick back road. The two-piece floating disc construction keeps the rotor flat as it heats and trims rotating and unsprung mass, which a sub-tonne car feels through the steering as readily as the pedal.

Street keeps pedal feel quiet, low-dust and predictable across a wide temperature range for daily and back-road use. Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road driving with the occasional track day. Racing brings the aggressive trail-braking bite that circuit sessions reward. Braided stainless lines are included, firming the pedal the larger discs already provide.

About the Hollow Front Big Brake Kit

The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry that reduces rotating and unsprung mass compared with a solid rotor while opening additional thermal paths away from the braking surface. That matters most on a front-wheel-drive platform like the Tigra, where front axle load under hard braking concentrates heat across a relatively small contact area. 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 serious track use.

Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let the hardware be set up for the actual intensity of use, from road registration to lap timing. Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, accommodating colour matching against body, wheels or existing hardware. 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.
