Fits Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI (2008-2010)

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 — Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI (2008-2010) — 380 mm
380 mm

The CM-chassis Santa Fe CRDI carries considerably more mass than the saloons and hatchbacks that share its engine family. Diesel drivetrain, four-wheel-drive hardware and tall SUV construction push kerb weight well past the point where ordinary front brakes start to struggle. Factory front discs on this generation were sized for everyday driving, not for the sustained heat that builds through a loaded descent or a fast approach to a junction with a trailer adding its own momentum. This XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces the original front hardware with a pair of larger calipers and two-piece floating discs built to manage that heat rather than soak it up until the pedal goes long.

This is a front-axle kit: a matched left and right pair of front calipers and discs for the corners that do the heavy lifting on a nose-heavy diesel. Three pad compounds put you in control of the performance envelope. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default. Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road use with the occasional track day. Racing is a full track compound for owners who put the Santa Fe through proper punishment. Choose your compound when you order, alongside everything else.

What this brake kit does for your 2008-2010 Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI

The hollow-vane disc improves airflow across the swept face during deceleration, drawing heat away from the pad contact zone where fade begins. On a diesel SUV of this weight the front axle carries the bulk of braking load, and the nose-heavy CRDI layout concentrates that force exactly where temperatures climb fastest, compounded again when the car is loaded with passengers and luggage. The two-piece floating disc lets the iron ring expand and contract against an alloy bell without coning, which keeps the disc flat and the pedal honest after repeated stops. Racing compound holds bite at temperatures that would glaze a road pad, while Sport offers a clear step up from OEM for drivers mixing A and B-roads with longer motorway runs. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, and a Custom Color in any Pantone is available for a deliberate match.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, machined to shed weight without losing stiffness, so clamping force stays consistent through a hard sequence of stops. For serious track use there is an optional Hollow Racing upgrade, which drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, both running the hollow-vane internal structure that pulls temperature away from the friction face. Centre bells can be upgraded too: two-tone anodizing in five colours, or titanium, selectable at checkout. Beyond the no-cost painted colours there are premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The front-only scope reflects where the thermal load actually concentrates on a front-biased SUV like the Santa Fe.

Fitment for the Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI (2008-2010)

This front kit is confirmed for the Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI covering 2008 through to 2010. The CM-chassis Santa Fe was offered in UK specification with both 2.0 and 2.2-litre CRDI diesel engines across this period, and both variants are covered by this fitment reference.

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.
