Caliper render for this kit:
The Q7 4M’s mass is its defining engineering challenge. Audi’s MLB Evo platform carries upwards of two tonnes in standard specification, and the front axle bears the heaviest share of that weight transfer under braking. Repeated hard stops from motorway speeds, loaded descents through mountain passes, or a track day at Donington in an SUV that was never engineered for circuit duty all put sustained thermal load into the front rotors that the standard brake assembly was not sized to handle indefinitely.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Audi Q7 4M covers the full 2016-2026 model run. It fits as a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs across the front axle, with three pad compounds and a wide choice of caliper finishes selected when you order.
What this brake kit does for your 2016-2026 Audi Q7 4M
The most immediate improvement is in fade resistance. The Q7 4M’s front axle does the majority of the deceleration work in every stop, and on a two-tonne-plus SUV that is a significant cumulative heat loading across any spirited drive. The hollow-vane rotor construction dissipates that heat faster than a solid or conventionally vented disc, keeping pedal feel consistent through successive braking events rather than softening as temperatures climb. The two-piece floating disc lets the rotor grow with temperature without warping the bell and trims rotating and unsprung mass off the front corners, while braided lines are included to firm up the pedal.
Pad choice matches the kit to use. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily driving with no warm-up cycle needed. Sport adds bite and heat range for hard fast-road work. Racing is the track compound for sustained high temperatures, alpine sections under load or any setting where the car brakes repeatedly at its limit. The caliper finish sits visibly behind the Q7 4M’s generous alloy spokes, where the wide wheel arch opening gives it room to be seen. Included painted colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost.
About the front brake kit
The hollow-vane disc increases internal surface area and airflow paths through the rotor without simply adding mass to the rotating assembly. For a vehicle in the Q7 4M’s weight bracket that distinction matters, since heavier rotors raise unsprung mass on the front axle and can dull the steering response that Audi’s adaptive air suspension works to preserve. The calipers are hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for sustained circuit loading that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.
Beyond the included painted finishes, a Custom Color in any Pantone is available, along with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre-bell upgrades, two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium, are selectable at checkout. Every choice is built into the kit at production, not wrapped or painted over an existing finish.
Fitment for the Audi Q7 4M (2016-2026)
This front brake kit is designed for the second-generation Audi Q7, chassis code 4M, across the full 2016-2026 production span, covering both the original 2016 release and the revised 2020 specification. The 4M generation spans 3.0 TDI, 3.0 TFSI, 45 TFSI, and SQ7 4.0 TFSI variants. If your Q7 4M carries non-standard brake hardware from a previous owner or a factory option pack, confirm front hub and caliper carrier dimensions 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.
