XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 220 (1993-2000)

The W202 established the C-Class nameplate in 1993, arriving as a compact executive saloon that handled with considerably more purpose than its pricing suggested. Thirty years on, the owners still developing these cars have typically already addressed suspension and tyres; the XYZ Racing front brake kit is the upgrade that brings the front stopping hardware into line with everything else the car has had done to it.

The C 220’s M111 four-cylinder gives the W202 enough usable performance to expose the limits of the original front braking setup under sustained pressure. A braking system engineered for early 1990s expectations, now asked to serve fast-road or circuit duties, is a gap worth closing properly with a matched pair of forged front calipers and two-piece floating discs.

What this brake kit does for your 1993-2000 Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 220

The two-piece floating discs dissipate heat more effectively than a standard ventilated setup under repeated hard stops, the kind of sustained thermal load the factory hardware was never rated for, and the floating ring expands on its alloy bell without coning. Three pad compounds give the system a working range the factory spec simply does not offer: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily road use, Sport for spirited driving, and Racing when the W202 gets circuit time. Braided lines firm the pedal, and painted caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, mean the upgrade is visible through the alloys and the finish can match the overall quality of the build rather than looking like an afterthought. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit

Two-piece floating disc construction is a defining feature of this kit: the friction ring is mounted on an alloy bell so it can expand independently under heat, reducing distortion while the full swept braking face is preserved. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, which reduces rotating and unsprung weight, both relevant on a front axle carrying the highest braking load during hard deceleration. For track sessions there is an optional Hollow Racing upgrade, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating, and a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, allow the same hardware to serve from daily road commuting through to track work without requiring a complete system change between uses. Caliper finishing runs five no-cost colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black, with a custom Pantone match for £150, premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange. Centre bells can be specified two-tone or titanium, giving the installed kit a visual identity that suits the car’s development level rather than contradicting it.
