Caliper render for this kit:
A 200bhp turbocharged MPV with front-wheel drive and a kerb weight above 1,400kg presents a braking challenge the factory never fully resolved. Opel’s OPC division gave the Zafira A a genuinely rapid 2.0T engine and an uprated chassis tune, but the front discs remained closely related to standard family-car spec, under-specced for what the engine can do when you actually use it.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Opel Zafira OPC A (1999-2005) replaces the front braking hardware with a matched pair of larger discs and forged calipers better suited to the car’s performance credentials. Three pad compounds let you configure the front axle for daily commuting, spirited road work or circuit use, each a different operating regime requiring a different friction setup.
What this brake kit does for your 1999-2005 Opel Zafira OPC A
On the Zafira OPC A’s front-driven layout, the front brakes absorb the bulk of kinetic energy on every deceleration. The hollow-vane disc construction provides greater thermal capacity than a standard vented replacement, directly relevant on a heavier FWD car where repeated hard stops build heat faster than the OEM discs can shed it. The increased swept area improves pedal feel and reduces the travel creep and fade the standard stoppers show under sustained pressure, while the two-piece floating disc keeps the rotor flat as it heats and trims rotating and unsprung mass off the front corners.
Three pad compounds match friction material to use case. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for everyday driving. Sport sharpens bite without the cold-temperature sensitivity of a race compound, ideal for fast road work. Racing is for track sessions where the hardware runs at proper operating temperatures. Braided stainless lines are part of the kit, so the firmer pedal the larger discs deliver carries through cleanly.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
This is a front-axle upgrade for applications where OEM components begin to reach their limits under performance use. The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry that draws air through the rotor body for greater heat transfer than a conventional vented disc, targeting the thermal fade that is the primary failure mode on a nose-heavy car doing repeated hard stops. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard and mounts via a vehicle-specific bracket to the Zafira OPC A’s existing front upright without modification. An optional Hollow Racing upgrade 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 friction specification be matched to actual use rather than a single mid-spec compromise. Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, so the visible hardware through the OPC A’s alloys can be finished as you see fit. 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 Zafira OPC A (1999-2005)
This kit is specified for the Opel Zafira OPC A from 1999 to 2005, the OPC-badged performance derivative of the first-generation Zafira. Confirm the OPC designation before ordering. Standard Zafira A petrol and diesel variants use different front upright geometry and this kit is not designed for them.

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.
