Fits Skoda RAPID (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (2012-2026)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Skoda RAPID (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (2012-2026) — 330 mm
330 mm

Among Rapid variants, those factory-fitted with the two-piece OE front caliper sit at the more capable end of the braking specification, models that came with vented front discs and a more substantial caliper as standard because the engine or trim level demanded it. Those cars also tend to be the ones whose owners find the factory setup’s limits earliest, because the hardware invited harder use from the outset.

This XYZ Racing front kit is built for exactly that combination: a Rapid that already has the right OE foundation but needs more from its front brakes under sustained load. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating front discs, with three pad compounds, and it leaves the rear axle untouched.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2026 Skoda RAPID

Replacing the OE front brake assembly with this kit gives the Rapid’s front axle a more substantial thermal ceiling. The two-piece floating disc draws heat away from the friction surface under load more effectively than the one-piece OE discs fitted to most Rapid variants, and the reduced rotating and unsprung mass sharpens turn-in. For a car used on a trackday or pushed through a sustained run of demanding roads, that difference shows up where it matters: consistent pedal feel through the braking zone rather than the softening response heat-soaked standard discs produce. Three pad compounds let you spec it to use: Street is the quiet, low-dust default, Sport adds bite and a wider heat range for spirited driving and occasional track outings, and Racing is the dedicated compound for timed sessions. Caliper finish runs from the included Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, through any Pantone as a Custom Color, to premium polished-forged and candy options, which on a compact hatchback where every visual detail counts adds something beyond the mechanical improvement.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, a forged construction that keeps mass down without losing clamping rigidity, and serious track users can specify the optional Hollow Racing caliper, which deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating disc removes heat from the friction surface continuously during use, the significant functional advantage over OE discs under sustained higher-temperature operation. Three pad compounds run from Street for everyday road use, through Sport for spirited driving and occasional trackday outings, to Racing for high-intensity circuit work. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bells can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, all selectable when you order. The kit works with the Rapid’s OE two-piece caliper mounting rather than requiring an adapted bracket or spacer, and covers the front axle in its entirety.

Fitment for the Skoda RAPID (2012-2026)

This front brake kit covers the Skoda Rapid across its production span from 2012 through 2026, but applies strictly to models equipped with the two-piece OE front caliper. Rapid variants fitted with a single-piece OE caliper are not compatible, and that distinction matters at the point of purchase rather than after delivery. The two-piece caliper was typically fitted to higher-output and higher-trim variants with vented front discs; if you are unsure which caliper type your car has, verify against your build specification or the OE part number before configuring.

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.
