Fits Volkswagen BORA VARIANT 2.8 I V6 24V (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (1999-2005)

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 — Volkswagen BORA VARIANT 2.8 I V6 24V (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (1999-2005) — 330 mm
330 mm

The Bora Variant carries its 2.8-litre 24-valve VR6 ahead of the front axle, and on the estate bodyshell that nose-heavy mass gives the front brakes far more work to do than the figures suggest. The factory setup was specified for a comfortable Mk4, composed on the commute but quick to go long and soft once you start leaning on the V6’s pace down a fast B-road or a series of downhill corners.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit is built for 1999-2005 Bora Variant 2.8 V6 24V cars running the two-piece OE caliper. It replaces the soft front end with a higher-capacity, more rigid front-axle setup, and lets you spec the pad compound to match how hard the car actually gets driven.

What this big brake kit does for your 1999-2005 Volkswagen Bora Variant 2.8 V6 24V

The first thing you feel is a firmer, shorter pedal with less travel before the bite, which makes the heavy nose far easier to place under braking. Because this is a front-axle kit on a car that does most of its stopping up front, the gain in heat capacity directly attacks the fade that creeps in when a loaded estate is hauled down repeatedly. The three pad compounds let you tune that behaviour: Street keeps quiet, low-dust manners for daily use, Sport adds bite and fade resistance for committed road driving, and Racing is there for sustained track abuse. The two-piece floating disc helps the front axle shed heat between stops, so braking stays consistent deeper into a session instead of softening on you.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The kit is a bolt-on upgrade for the front axle, pairing a high-capacity two-piece floating front disc with a stiffer caliper that resists the flex and pad-knockback that dull a tired OE setup. The caliper is a hollow body as standard; an optional Hollow Racing version rated to 1000C, with a two-year warranty and no dust cover, is available for cars seeing regular circuit time. It is offered with Street, Sport and Racing pad compounds, so the same hardware covers everything from a road-biased VR6 to a track-focused car. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and a two-tone anodized centre bell in five colours or titanium can be added at checkout, so the kit can be matched to the car behind the spokes. It is engineered specifically to address the front-axle braking demands of a nose-heavy VR6, where the standard discs and calipers are the limiting factor long before the chassis is.

Fitment for the Volkswagen Bora Variant 2.8 V6 24V (1999-2005)

This kit is designed for the Volkswagen Bora Variant 2.8 V6 24V across the 1999-2005 production span, supplied as a pair of front corners. It fits only models originally equipped with the two-piece OE front caliper, so confirm your car runs that caliper before ordering. It is a front-position kit; the rear brakes are unaffected.

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.
