XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Peugeot 307 3D (2001-2008)

Front-wheel drive concentrates virtually every deceleration force on the front axle, and the 307 3D’s factory brakes were calibrated for the hatchback brief, not for a car running performance rubber, modified for power, or being pressed through a set of corners on a fast B-road. The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Peugeot 307 3D replaces that stock setup with a system built to absorb heat and return a consistent pedal where the OEM hardware starts to go vague.

For the GTI 180 crowd, and the wider group of 307 owners who have found their brakes now feel like the limiting factor after fitting stickier tyres, this kit closes the gap between what the chassis can do and what the stopping hardware lets you exploit. Supplied as a matched left-and-right pair of larger front discs and forged calipers, with three pad compounds, the same kit is relevant whether the car mostly sees public roads or regular circuit use.

What this brake kit does for your 2001-2008 Peugeot 307 3D

The 307’s transverse front-drive layout ensures the front axle handles the majority of braking load in every hard stop, and repeated heat cycles are where the standard hardware runs out of confidence. Larger swept area from the uprated discs means more thermal mass before fade sets in. On a 307 3D carrying speed into a tight corner, that translates to a pedal that stays where you put it rather than migrating toward the floor. The two-piece floating disc construction reduces rotating and unsprung mass compared with a conventional big-diameter disc, helping the front suspension maintain tyre contact through the compression that follows heavy braking, and keeps the friction ring flat as it heats.

Three pad compounds calibrate the system to your usage. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for everyday loads. Sport bridges daily driving with occasional harder sessions. Racing handles sustained high-temperature braking cycles where lesser pads shed performance quickly. Braided stainless lines come with the kit to keep the pedal firm under load.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The disc uses a hollow-vane internal geometry, hollow sections within the disc body that reduce rotating and unsprung mass compared with a standard ventilated or solid replacement, benefiting front-end response and compliance through corners on a chassis as capable as the 307 3D. 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 sustained circuit use.

Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you set the operating temperature window. Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, built to resist the thermal cycling and brake dust that follows hard use. 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. The kit is front-axle specific, addressing the 307’s primary braking load point directly.

Fitment for the Peugeot 307 3D (2001-2008)

This brake kit is confirmed for the three-door Peugeot 307 3D produced from 2001 through to the end of the generation in 2008. Verify your existing wheel diameter and spoke clearance before ordering, as a big brake fitment requires adequate space within the wheel, particularly relevant if the 307 3D has had aftermarket wheels fitted. The full production run of this body style is covered.
