XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Volkswagen POLO 6R (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (2014-2018)

The Polo 6R puts most of its mass over the front axle, so on a hard-driven supermini the front brakes do nearly all the work and climb in temperature fast. The XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit replaces the two-piece OE front caliper on these cars with a larger, stiffer setup built to keep that heat under control. It is aimed at owners who have started leaning on their Polo on B-roads or the occasional track day and found the standard front end going soft.

This is a front big brake kit, a matched pair of left and right calipers and two-piece floating discs, so the gain shows up first where it matters: initial bite, pedal firmness and resistance to fade once the discs are hot. With three pad compounds and a wide range of caliper finishes, it is specified to match how hard you actually drive the car rather than sold as one fixed package.

What this big brake kit does for your 2014-2018 Volkswagen Polo 6R

The first thing you feel on the road is a higher, firmer pedal: the larger caliper clamps a bigger disc, so the same pedal effort produces more stopping force and less travel. On a light car like the Polo that means shorter, more repeatable stops and far less of the spongy feeling that creeps in once the OE brakes get warm. The pad compound choice does the rest. Street suits daily driving with quiet, low-dust manners, Sport adds bite for fast-road use, and Racing is there for sustained track sessions where heat is the limiting factor. Because the two-piece floating disc and hollow-vane casting tackle fade head-on, you can brake later into a corner and trail the pedal without the front end washing wide under load.

About the Hollow front brake kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow line focuses on cutting weight at the corners of the car, where mass is both unsprung and rotating and therefore costs the most. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard to keep that weight down. This front kit fits a larger two-piece floating disc and a more rigid performance caliper in place of the two-piece OE unit, so the assembly resists the flex that lets a tired factory brake feel vague. A stiffer caliper keeps the pads square to the disc, which sharpens feel and evens out pad wear. It is offered with three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so one set of hardware spans road, fast-road and track use. Caliper finish is your call: Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black are included at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange offered as upgrades. A Hollow Racing caliper, run without a dust cover and rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty, is available for serious track work. The package is built specifically as a bolt-on upgrade for Polo 6R models running the two-piece OE front caliper.

Fitment for the Volkswagen Polo 6R (2014-2018)

This kit is for the Volkswagen Polo 6R built between 2014 and 2018, and it fits only those cars that left the factory with the two-piece OE front caliper, typically the higher-spec variants. Before ordering, confirm your car runs that two-piece front caliper, as the bracketry and disc sizing are matched to it. If you run small-diameter wheels, check clearance against the larger disc as well. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bells can be upgraded to two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium at checkout.
