XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Volvo C70 (2006-2013)

The second-generation C70 carries its mass high and forward: a folding steel roof, a four-seat cabriolet body, and a turbocharged five-cylinder hung ahead of the front axle. All of that weight lands on the front brakes every time you slow down, and the standard setup on a 1,700kg-plus convertible was never built to take repeated hard stops without fade creeping in. This XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit replaces the front discs and calipers on the 2006-2013 Volvo C70 with a larger, better-ventilated package designed to cope with that load.

It is a front-axle kit, a matched pair of left and right calipers and two-piece floating discs, aimed at owners who want consistent stopping power from a heavy, soft-riding GT convertible, the kind that warms its brakes on a fast B-road or a continental tour and wants the pedal to feel the same on the tenth stop as the first.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2013 Volvo C70

The biggest gain on a car this heavy is heat management. The two-piece floating disc with its hollow-vane casting sheds mass and opens up cooling paths, so the front rotors recover temperature faster between stops and resist the fade that turns a nose-heavy convertible vague under braking. A larger front disc gives the calipers more leverage, which means a firmer pedal and shorter, more repeatable stops without you having to stamp harder. You also choose the pad compound to match how you drive: Street for everyday road use with quiet, low-dust manners, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing for track days where the front axle takes a real beating. The result is a C70 that settles into corners with the front end under control rather than washing wide as the standard brakes wilt.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

This is a front big brake upgrade built around a two-piece floating disc whose hollow-vane construction cuts rotational and unsprung weight while improving airflow through the rotor. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, keeping mass down at the wheel. The kit pairs those discs with uprated calipers sized for the C70’s front-axle load, and it ships with a choice of three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware suits a daily-driven cabriolet or a car that sees occasional circuit use. Calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black 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 as upgrades, plus a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty for serious track use. Everything is engineered for the front position specifically, where the heaviest braking forces on a front-engined, front-drive Volvo are concentrated.

Fitment for the Volvo C70 (2006-2013)

This kit fits the second-generation Volvo C70 retractable-hardtop convertible across the 2006 to 2013 model years. It is a front-axle kit only, supplied with the disc and caliper hardware for that position. Confirm your wheel clearance before ordering, as a big brake disc needs adequate room behind the spokes. 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.
