Caliper render for this kit:
The Peugeot 106 GTI’s reputation as an overachiever rests almost entirely on what it does not carry. At around 870kg, the S16 puts every one of its 120bhp to work through one of the pointiest front-wheel-drive chassis the 1990s produced. The stock braking hardware was built for the car Peugeot expected most buyers to run, a quick road car used occasionally hard. It was not built for the back-to-back sessions the 106’s chassis so readily invites.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Peugeot 106 S16 GTI (1996-2000) closes that gap. Supplied as a matched pair of larger discs and forged calipers, with three pad compounds covering lightly modified road use to serious track preparation, it addresses the thermal limits the standard discs hit faster than most comparable cars of the period.
What this brake kit does for your 1996-2000 Peugeot 106 S 16 GTI
Fade in a car this light arrives as a more disorienting event than in something heavier. The chassis is still willing, but the confidence to use the brakes late into a corner evaporates when the pedal softens. The larger hollow-vane discs increase thermal capacity for more consistent pedal feel across extended sessions, with less need to protect the hardware through early braking points. The two-piece floating disc construction keeps the friction ring flat as it heats and reduces rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle, where the 106’s strut geometry is most sensitive to changes in rotational inertia.
Pad compound choice sets the operating temperature window. Street is the quiet, low-dust default that preserves daily driveability without a rebuild between uses. Sport widens the heat range and bite for mixed road and occasional circuit work. Racing is where the kit’s full capacity is realised on event days. Braided stainless lines are included to keep the pedal firm under load.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry that machines voids into the disc body, reducing rotating and unsprung mass without reducing swept area or structural integrity, and improving heat dissipation between braking events. That is a meaningful gain on a car that packages its front brakes tightly and generates heat quickly once it is being driven as intended. 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 event days where higher sustained temperatures are the norm.
Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, spec the kit to actual use. Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, ensuring the installation reads as intentional behind whatever wheel the 106 runs. 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 covers the front axle, where the 106 S16’s natural braking bias already concentrates load under hard deceleration.
Fitment for the Peugeot 106 S 16 GTI (1996-2000)
This kit is built for the Peugeot 106 S16 GTI as produced between 1996 and 2000, the 1.6-litre 16-valve variant that became the definitive form of the model and the one most frequently seen on track days today. Fitment is front axle only. Verify your current hub and caliper specification against the supplied fitment data before completing your order.

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.
