Fits Volkswagen JETTA 2 (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (1990-1992)

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.

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 JETTA 2 (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (1990-1992) — 330 mm
330 mm

The MK2 Jetta carries barely a tonne, which is exactly why its front axle runs out of brake long before it runs out of grip. Drop a 16V or a turbo conversion into the A2 platform and the standard front discs heat-soak within a couple of hard stops, the pedal goes long, and the nose starts to skate under trail-braking. This XYZ Racing Front Brake Kit for the Volkswagen Jetta 2 attacks that single weak point.

It is a front big brake upgrade built for the light, nose-led MK2 saloon: more thermal mass, a stiffer caliper, and pad-compound choice so the same hardware works for a road car or a circuit car. Supplied as a matched front pair, the fitment here is specific – this kit is for cars running the two-piece OE front caliper, so check yours before you buy.

What this brake kit does for your 1990-1992 Volkswagen Jetta 2

On a car this light the gain is immediate. The larger rotor gives the front axle the heat capacity the factory disc never had, so repeat stops from speed stop fading and the pedal stays firm where the standard setup turns soft. That consistency matters most in a front-driver: a brake you can lean on lets you carry the MK2’s natural rotation into a corner instead of washing into understeer. Three pad compounds let you set the bite to the job – the Street and Sport pads keep the car civil and quiet on the road, while the Racing compound holds its friction at the temperatures a track day generates. Caliper finish is yours to pick from the no-cost Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, a custom Pantone colour, the polished-forged finishes, or the candy options, so the kit reads as intended behind an open wheel.

About the Front Brake Kit

The Front Brake Kit pairs an enlarged front rotor with a performance caliper to lift the braking ceiling without re-engineering the whole corner. The two-piece floating disc design sheds unsprung and rotating mass while keeping the swept area and vane structure needed to pull heat out between stops – useful on a chassis where every kilogram off the front axle sharpens turn-in. The calipers are hollow-bodied as standard. Each kit ships with a choice of three pad compounds: Street for stock-feel daily use, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing for sustained circuit temperatures. Caliper colour options cover the cosmetic side, from the no-cost Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black through custom Pantone to the polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and the candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange finishes, with discs drilled or slotted at the same price. It is a bolt-on front package designed to clear the OE-style wheel fitment of the period car while delivering modern stopping performance.

Fitment for the Volkswagen Jetta 2 (1990-1992)

This kit fits the 1990 to 1992 Volkswagen Jetta 2 and is specified ONLY for models running the two-piece OE front caliper – confirm your existing caliper type before ordering, as the bracketry is matched to that variant. It is a front-axle kit; pad compound and caliper colour are selected when you order.

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.
