XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Opel VECTRA CD (1995-2002)

The Vectra B CD was never marketed as a performance car, but the 2.5 V6 variant in particular could extract genuine pace that the factory front brakes were not really sized to handle repeatedly. Add the weight of CD-specification equipment, climate control, leather trim and the extra electronics, and the nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive layout puts significant thermal load through those front corners under any sustained braking.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses exactly this, replacing the standard Vectra B front setup with a matched pair of larger discs and forged calipers that manages heat more effectively across a range of driving conditions and pad compounds.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-2002 Opel VECTRA CD

On a front-wheel-drive platform, the front axle handles braking and steering forces simultaneously. Under trail-braking into corners, something the V6’s torque actively invites, the standard equipment can run short of progression and feel before the apex. Larger-diameter discs increase swept area and mechanical leverage, reducing pedal effort for equivalent deceleration, while the hollow-vane construction feeds air through the rotor body rather than relying on surface area alone. The two-piece floating disc keeps the friction ring flat as it heats and trims rotating and unsprung mass off the front corners.

Three pad compounds cover the full spectrum. Street is the quiet, low-dust daily default. Sport sharpens bite and widens the heat range for spirited road use with the occasional track day. Racing is the full circuit compound. The same caliper and disc follow the Vectra CD from the school run to a track day without hardware changes between them, and braided stainless lines come with the kit for a firmer, more consistent pedal.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry that channels airflow through the disc body to keep temperatures lower under repeated hard braking and extend the operating window before fade sets in. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade that removes the dust cover, carries a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty for circuit use. The kit arrives as a matched caliper and disc assembly with compound selected at order, specifying the pad chemistry for how the car is actually driven rather than retrofitting pads later.

Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, finished in durable coatings suited to brake-corner temperatures. A Custom Color in any Pantone shade is available for £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with a two-tone centre bell in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout.
