Caliper render for this kit:

The Starlet EP82 and EP91 left Toyota with brakes scaled for a sub-tonne shopping hatch, not for the 4E-FTE turbo motor that owners have spent three decades coaxing well past its factory figure. On a nose-heavy front-drive chassis this light, the front axle does almost all the stopping, and the standard two-piece caliper setup runs out of thermal headroom long before the engine runs out of boost.
This XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit replaces that weak point on the EP70, EP82 and EP91 with a larger front disc and a fixed caliper, restoring the braking margin a tuned Starlet actually needs. It is a front-axle kit, a matched left-and-right pair, aimed squarely at the cars that have already had the power side of the equation sorted.
What this brake kit does for your 1984-1999 Toyota Starlet EP70/82/91
The first thing you notice on a lightweight Starlet is how much later you can brake into a corner without the pedal going long. The bigger front disc adds swept area and heat capacity, so repeat stops on a hot lap or a quick B-road descent hold their bite instead of fading. Pad compound is your call: Street for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for fast-road and occasional track duty, and Racing for sustained track abuse. Because the EP-chassis cars are so light, the gain in feel and modulation at the pedal is immediate rather than something you have to chase.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The kit pairs an XYZ Racing fixed front caliper, hollow-bodied as standard, with the brand’s two-piece floating disc, which trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle where a small FWD car feels it most. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, and the floating bell manages heat expansion cleanly. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the kit to how the car is driven rather than over-specifying. Painted calipers ship in a choice of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone at £150 and premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold or Polished Silver, plus candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, so the kit suits a period-correct sleeper or a louder show build behind the wheels. Centre bells can be upgraded to two-tone anodizing in five colours or titanium, and a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C is there for the hardest track use. It is a bolt-on front big brake upgrade designed around the OE mounting, not a fabricated one-off.
Fitment for the Toyota Starlet EP70/82/91 (1984-1999)
This kit fits the Toyota Starlet EP70, EP82 and EP91 across the 1984-1999 range, but only models that left the factory with the two-piece OE caliper, and is supplied as a front-axle pair. Confirm your car carries that caliper type before ordering, as the single-piece-caliper variants use a different front setup.

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.
