Caliper render for this kit:

A transverse five-cylinder, quattro AWD on a platform derived from the same MQB architecture as the RS3 and Golf R, and the majority of the kerb weight sitting forward of the firewall: the 8S TT RS is a fast car that places its mass in the manner of its platform origins. Factory brakes are calibrated for that reality on the road; repeated heavy braking over the course of a circuit session is a different calculation entirely, and one where the front axle carries the primary burden.
The XYZ Racing Hollow Front Big Brake Kit for the Audi TT RS (8S) MK3 upgrades the front assembly for both fast-road and circuit use. It is a single-axle front kit, supplying a matched pair of front calipers and front discs. Three pad compounds span Street through to full Racing specification, and caliper finishes run from the included painted colours to premium options, so the installation sits in proportion to how seriously the car is driven.
What this brake kit does for your 2015-2026 Audi TT RS (8S) MK3
On a transverse quattro chassis with nose-forward weight distribution, the front brakes absorb more energy per stop than they would on a more balanced layout. The hollow-vane, two-piece floating disc addresses this directly: airflow through the disc cross-section means heat dissipates faster between braking zones, reducing the accumulation that produces a softening pedal and discolouration in the disc face. The floating construction lets the rotor expand evenly with temperature rather than coning, and the hollow-bodied caliper removes mass from the unsprung front axle, improving wheel control over surface changes.
Three pad compounds make the kit genuinely versatile. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default suited to fast roads and the occasional circuit outing; Sport covers the track-day-plus-daily-commute reality most TT RS owners actually live in; Racing maintains consistent bite through the heat cycles of a full circuit session, where a softer specification would already be showing the limits of its thermal range. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price.
About the Hollow brake kit
XYZ Racing’s calipers are hollow-bodied as standard, paring mass from the corner without surrendering clamping force. The two-piece disc construction is focused on thermal management: by routing airflow through the disc cross-section, the hollow-vane profile sheds heat faster between braking events, both outcomes that matter on a platform where front-axle load is a structural characteristic rather than an incidental one.
This is a front big brake kit, an upsize on the standard factory diameter that provides greater braking surface area and increased mechanical advantage for the caliper. Caliper finish runs across the included painted colours of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with Custom Color available in any Pantone, plus premium polished-forged and candy options for any specification the build requires. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades in two-tone anodized colours or titanium are selectable at checkout, alongside braided lines. For serious track use, the optional Hollow Racing caliper upgrade runs without a dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.
Fitment for the Audi TT RS (8S) MK3 (2015-2026)
This front brake kit covers the Audi TT RS (8S) MK3 produced from 2015 to 2026, spanning the full production run of the third-generation TT RS on the MQB chassis. The 8S coupe and roadster body variants both fall within this generation. Verify your chassis code matches the 8S designation, since the 8S platform uses a different brake architecture to the 8J MK2 generation it replaced, and the two are not interchangeable.

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.
