XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Peugeot 406 (1995-2004)

The Peugeot 406’s front end carries more mass than its composed proportions suggest, most acutely in 3.0 V6 specification where the engine sits well ahead of the axle centreline. On a long descent or a spirited fast-road run, the original front discs communicate that weight through a progressively softening pedal. The bite is still there, just not where you need it to be.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Peugeot 406 addresses the thermal deficit the OEM setup leaves. Supplied as a matched left-and-right pair of larger discs and forged calipers, with three pad compounds, the kit works across the full breadth of how a 406 gets driven, from a diesel estate that occasionally sees a fast empty A-road to a V6 Coupé pushed as Pininfarina presumably envisioned when they were sketching it in Turin.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-2004 Peugeot 406

The hollow-vane disc construction vents heat significantly more efficiently than the flat solid units the 406 left the factory with, which matters most during the kind of repeated hard-stop sequences that overwhelm OEM brake specification. The two-piece floating disc keeps the friction ring flat as it heats and trims rotating and unsprung mass off the front corners, which a nose-heavy V6 feels through both pedal and steering.

Three pad compounds match the kit to use. Street raises the performance ceiling for fast-road use without cold-bite hesitation on a damp morning commute, and stays quiet and low on dust. Sport widens the heat range and bite for harder road and occasional track work. Racing is calibrated for sustained high-temperature events, track days, hillclimbs, or circuit club sessions where the front brakes are under load on every exit. Braided stainless lines come with the kit to keep the pedal firm under load.

About the XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit

The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry that increases effective heat dissipation compared to a standard solid disc while keeping rotating and unsprung weight in check. 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 repeated on-limit braking in a competitive or structured track environment.

The three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, are the product’s most practically useful specification, letting the same kit serve a road car or a circuit build without a separate setup for each. Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, offering a clean finish whether the goal is matching the Coupé’s Pininfarina lines or contrasting behind a set of deep-dish wheels on the saloon or estate. 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.
