Fits Volkswagen T6 VAN (2015-2022)

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 T6 VAN (2015-2022) — 380 mm
380 mm

The T6’s front axle does the heavy lifting, quite literally. With the engine slung ahead of the front wheels and a kerb weight that climbs fast once you add a camper conversion, a roof rack or a loaded payload, the factory front discs spend their life managing heat they were never sized for. The XYZ Racing Hollow front big brake kit for the Volkswagen T6 VAN replaces that marginal setup with larger, better-cooled hardware.

This is a front-axle kit, a matched pair of left and right calipers and two-piece floating discs, aimed at owners who actually use the van’s capacity: tow rigs, day-van and campervan builds, and high-mileage workhorses that descend the motorway fully laden. More thermal headroom up front is the single biggest braking gain you can make on a vehicle this nose-heavy.

What this big brake kit does for your 2015-2022 Volkswagen T6 VAN

Fit it and the first thing you notice is pedal feel: a larger disc and a rigid caliper cut the spongy, long-travel response that plagues a heavily loaded T6. Stopping distances tighten when the van is full, and repeated braking, down an Alpine pass with a caravan on the back or in stop-start delivery work, no longer cooks the fronts into fade. You match the pad compound to the job: Street for everyday running with quiet, low-dust manners, Sport for harder fast-road and towing use, or Racing for the most aggressive bite and heat tolerance. Caliper colours, from understated Black and Anodized Black through Red, Yellow and Gold, are included at no extra cost so you can suit the look to the build.

About the Hollow front brake kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a direct front-axle upgrade for the T6, pairing an oversized two-piece floating disc with a fixed multi-piston caliper in place of the sliding factory unit. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, shedding rotating and unsprung mass while the disc keeps the swept area large enough to soak up the heat a fully loaded van generates, and its hollow-vane casting pulls that heat away. Three pad compounds are offered, so the kit can be specified for ordinary road use, harder street and towing duty, or track and racing conditions. Included caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, 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, plus a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty for the hardest use. The whole kit is sized around the T6 platform rather than adapted from another model.

Fitment for the Volkswagen T6 VAN (2015-2022)

This kit is configured for the Volkswagen T6 VAN across the 2015 to 2022 production run and fits the front axle only. Big brake kits need adequate room behind the wheel, so confirm your wheel clearance before ordering. Pad compound and caliper finish are both selectable to suit your van, 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.

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.
