Caliper render for this kit:
The Korando Sport’s pickup architecture sets it apart from the compact SUVs it superficially resembles: a kerb weight north of 1,800kg, a payload rating approaching a tonne, and the realistic likelihood of a trailer on the towbar at weekends. That mass equation places far greater thermal demand on the front braking system than SsangYong’s standard setup was designed to absorb under repeated hard use.
The XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit addresses that deficit directly. It is a front-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the left and right corners, configured to suit how a specific owner actually works the truck through a choice of pad compound, disc style and caliper finish.
What this brake kit does for your 2012-2026 Ssangyong Korando Sport
Under hard braking a laden Korando Sport transfers a significant proportion of its gross weight forward, loading the front axle far harder than in unladen driving. The hollow-vane disc construction draws cooling air through the rotor body and accelerates heat dissipation, pushing the fade onset back so the point where brake fluid saturates and pedal feel degrades is far less likely to arrive during a loaded descent or a sequence of motorway-speed stops. The two-piece floating discs run an aluminium centre bell bolted to an iron friction ring, holding the disc true through repeated heat cycles and trimming rotating mass at the wheel. Less rotating and unsprung weight also helps the suspension respond more cleanly over imperfect surfaces.
Three pad compounds let owners calibrate bite and wear rate to use pattern. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default; Sport sharpens cold bite and adds heat range for mixed conditions and the occasional loaded run; Racing is a full circuit compound where thermal resilience under consecutive hard stops takes priority. Braided stainless lines are included for a firmer, more repeatable pedal than rubber hoses that swell under pressure.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The hollow-vane disc design incorporates internal channels that draw air through the rotor body during rotation, accelerating heat rejection away from the friction surface. That hollow construction also reduces unsprung rotational weight compared to a solid disc of equivalent diameter, with benefits that carry through to suspension response. The calipers are hollow-body as standard, stiff without excess weight, and the kit concentrates the upgrade on the front axle, where the Korando Sport generates the bulk of its braking effort during nose-loading weight transfer.
Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, so you can choose on looks or wet-weather feel. Included caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color to any Pantone code for a small upcharge. Premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) sit in a separate upgrade tier. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or a titanium bell, are selectable at checkout. For serious work there is an optional Hollow Racing caliper, run without a dust cover, rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty.
Fitment for the Ssangyong Korando Sport (2012-2026)
This kit covers the Ssangyong Korando Sport across its full 2012-to-2026 production span and fits the front axle as a left-and-right pair. Front hub architecture on the Korando Sport remained consistent throughout the model’s run, but buyers should verify their specific year’s front-axle specification against the fitment table before ordering. No trim-level exclusions are listed in the current fitment data.

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.
