XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Audi A7 (4G8) (2011-2017)

The A7 Sportback 4G8 occupies an unusual position in the Audi line-up: grand tourer proportions, executive weight, and in quattro specification a front axle that absorbs considerable kinetic energy on every hard stop. Factory braking hardware copes with typical road demands without drama, but repeated braking events on a fast Alpine descent or an open pit-lane session expose the ceiling of the standard setup. The XYZ Racing front brake kit for the Audi A7 4G8 is designed to raise that ceiling.

It is a front-axle pair: left and right front calipers with matched two-piece floating discs. Three pad compounds mean the kit can be configured to match how the car is actually used rather than settling for a single compromise, with the disc, finish and centre-bell options all set when you order.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2017 Audi A7 (4G8)

The A7 4G8’s kerb weight, which approaches 1,800 kg in quattro trim, puts sustained thermal load on the front axle during repeated hard braking. The larger two-piece discs and uprated calipers address the progressive fade the standard system can exhibit under sustained use, while the hollow-vane disc design sheds heat faster than a solid casting between stops and the lighter two-piece construction trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front. Braided lines hold the pedal firm where rubber hoses would swell. The Sport compound broadens the operating window for fast-road driving without the sharp cold-bite trade-off of a track pad; for owners who take the A7 to track events, Racing moves the kit into a different operating range entirely; Street is the quiet, low-dust road default. Calipers are hollow-bodied as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, rated to 1000C, no dust cover, two-year warranty.

About the Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s front brake kit is a front-axle upgrade built around three pad compounds: Street for everyday road use, Sport for drivers who work their cars hard on fast roads, and Racing for open-lap track sessions. The two-piece floating discs come in a drilled or slotted face at the same price, with optional two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium at checkout. Caliper finish runs from the included colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, to a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Teal, Blue, Red, Orange), giving 4G8 owners the option to complement or contrast the A7’s wheel design. The 4G8 chassis spans engine outputs from sub-200 bhp diesel variants through to the 420 bhp S7, and that spread of performance is reflected in the three distinct compound tiers. Brake fade on a heavy GT typically shows first under sustained fast-road or track use, and the compound choice is how the kit meets that threshold on the specific car.
