Fits Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI (2011-2012)

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 (2011-2012) — 380 mm
380 mm

The CM-generation Santa Fe CRDI carries a substantial kerb weight, and its 2.0 or 2.2-litre diesel delivers strong low-end torque that builds speed deceptively quickly. Under repeated hard braking, whether on descents, fast A-road runs or loaded towing, the standard front discs work at the edge of their thermal limit, and it shows in pedal feel. The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses this directly: a hollow-vane disc and an uprated caliper give the front axle the stopping authority the Santa Fe’s mass demands.

This is a single-axle kit for the front of the car, a matched left and right pair of calipers and two-piece floating discs. Three pad compounds cover the range. Street suits quiet daily road use with low dust. Sport is the natural choice for fast-road or hilly-terrain driving with the odd track day. Racing handles sustained high-temperature work where repeated hard stops are the norm. You choose the compound when you order.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2012 Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI

The hollow-vane rotor increases the surface in contact with incoming air, accelerating heat dissipation between braking events where a conventional vented disc begins to saturate. On a vehicle with the Santa Fe CRDI’s mass the front axle takes the majority of the deceleration load, so thermal fade there means lengthening pedal travel exactly when confidence matters most. The two-piece floating disc keeps the iron ring free to manage its own expansion against the alloy bell, resisting the coning and pulsation that creep into a fixed disc once it gets hot. The bigger geometry also sharpens initial bite: greater swept area and a longer caliper moment arm generate clamping force more efficiently under hard application. Caliper finishes come in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available, so the hardware reads cleanly behind larger aftermarket alloys.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper body is a hollow forging as standard, which trims weight while holding the stiffness that consistent clamping demands. A reduced thermal mass disc with internally hollow vanes reaches operating temperature faster from cold and sheds heat more aggressively once loaded, and you can specify it drilled or slotted at the same price. For owners running genuine track sessions there is an optional Hollow Racing upgrade: no dust cover, rated to 1000C, with a two-year warranty. Centre bell upgrades are available in two-tone anodizing across five colours or in titanium, selectable at checkout, and the caliper colour menu extends beyond the painted finishes to premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, plus candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The front-only scope reflects where thermal load actually concentrates on a front-biased diesel SUV; the rear axle seldom pushes stock hardware to comparable limits.

Fitment for the Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI (2011-2012)

Confirmed for the Hyundai SANTAFE CRDI across the 2011 to 2012 model years, covering the late-CM-platform diesel Santa Fe. This front-axle fitment targets the braking circuit carrying the highest load on the chassis. The Santa Fe transitioned into a generation change from 2012, so verify your build year and exact variant against SKU XYZ-BRK-BKF-HY-05-B-FRONT before ordering.

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.
