Fits Volkswagen BORA(4WD) (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (1999-2005)

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.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
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 BORA(4WD) (ONLY FOR MODELS WITH TWO-PIECE OE CALIPER) (1999-2005) — 330 mm
330 mm

The Bora 4Motion carries its VR6 well forward of the front axle, and the two-piece OE caliper this kit replaces is the giveaway that you are running the V5 or V6 4Motion rather than a four-cylinder car. That nose-heavy mass is exactly what overheats standard front discs on a long Alpine descent or by the third hot lap of a trackday. The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Volkswagen Bora 4WD meets that load with more rotor and a stiffer front caliper.

This is a front-axle upgrade for the 1999-2005 Bora 4WD, built specifically around the larger two-piece OE caliper fitment. Pad compound runs from Street through Sport to Racing, so one set of hardware covers a fast-road VR6 daily and a car that sees regular circuit use.

What this big brake kit does for your 1999-2005 Volkswagen Bora 4WD

On a Haldex-equipped 4Motion the front axle does most of the stopping while the AWD system shuffles drive, so front brake capacity is what you feel first. The larger front rotor gives you a firmer, higher pedal that resists the long, sinking travel you get when OE discs start to fade. Step up to the Sport or Racing pad compound and the kit holds bite through repeat heavy stops rather than going wooden mid-session. The two-piece floating disc helps the front axle absorb and release heat across a long descent or a string of laps, so the brakes recover between applications instead of soaking it all up. The result is braking you can lean on lap after lap rather than rationing.

About the Hollow front brake kit

The XYZ Racing front brake kit is a bolt-on big brake conversion that replaces the Bora’s two-piece OE caliper arrangement with a larger two-piece floating front rotor and a matched fixed caliper. The caliper is a hollow body as standard, keeping rotating and unsprung mass down; an optional Hollow Racing version rated to 1000C, with a two-year warranty and no dust cover, is there for cars doing serious track miles. Three pad compounds are offered, Street for quiet road manners and low dust, Sport for harder road and occasional track use, and Racing for sustained circuit work, letting you match friction to how the car is actually driven. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and a two-tone anodized or titanium centre bell can be selected at checkout, so the kit suits a sleeper VR6 or a louder, show-led build equally. Because it is sized for the larger two-piece OE caliper variant, the geometry is set for the heavier V5 and V6 4Motion front end rather than a generic Mk4 fit.

Fitment for the Volkswagen Bora 4WD (1999-2005)

This front kit fits the Volkswagen Bora 4WD built 1999 to 2005 as a pair of left and right front corners, and only the versions that left the factory with the two-piece OE caliper, typically the V5 and V6 4Motion. Confirm your existing front caliper is the two-piece type before ordering, as it will not suit cars running the smaller single-piece front brake.

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.
