Caliper render for this kit:
The Hilux MK8 carries the bulk of its two-tonne-plus kerb weight over the front axle, and that mass has to be hauled down every time you brake: loaded bed, trailer on the hitch, or a long descent off the tarmac. The factory front discs cope with daily duty, but ask them to stop a fully laden truck repeatedly and pad temperatures climb fast and the pedal goes long. This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Toyota Hilux MK8 (2015-2026) is the front-axle answer: more disc, more clamping area, and far more thermal headroom.
This is a front big brake kit built for trucks that actually work, from towing and overlanding to modified MK8s running larger tyres that pile extra rotating mass onto the brakes. It supplies a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs, and you choose the pad compound and caliper finish to match how you use the truck, from quiet road manners to a Racing pad for sustained heavy stops.
What this brake kit does for your 2015-2026 Toyota Hilux MK8
After fitting, the first thing you notice is a firmer, more progressive pedal that keeps its bite when the standard setup would already be fading. The larger front discs spread heat across a bigger surface, so braking from motorway speed with a loaded bed no longer cooks the pads on the second or third stop, and the two-piece floating construction lets the iron ring expand against its alloy bell without coning. Run Street for a daily that occasionally tows, Sport for harder fast-road and light-tow work, or Racing if you push the truck hard on long descents and forest tracks where heat is the real enemy. The hollow-vane disc sheds temperature and trims unsprung weight at the front corners, which sharpens turn-in and steering feel on a vehicle not famous for either. Shorter, more repeatable stops on a heavy 4×4 turn directly into confidence when the road points downhill with a trailer behind you.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
This is a complete front-axle upgrade rather than a pad swap. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, and the two-piece disc uses internal hollow vanes that move heat away between stops instead of soaking it up, so the disc shrugs off temperature rather than holding it. The kit pairs uprated discs with a larger caliper and a clamping setup sized to match the Hilux’s considerable mass. Three pad compounds cover the full spread of how these trucks get used: Street for everyday low-dust feel, Sport for harder fast-road and light-tow work, and Racing for sustained high-temperature duty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium when you order. The included calipers come painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost; beyond those you can specify any Pantone as a Custom Color for £150, a premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold, or Polished Silver, or a candy Teal, Blue, Red, or Orange. Hard-working trucks can add the optional Hollow Racing caliper, rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty.
Fitment for the Toyota Hilux MK8 (2015-2026)
This kit is cut for the front axle of the eighth-generation Toyota Hilux MK8 across the full 2015 to 2026 production run, the AN120 and AN130 chassis. It is a front-position kit only. Check your wheel clearance before ordering, as front big brake kits on lifted or larger-diameter setups can foul smaller factory rim sizes.

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.
