Caliper render for this kit:
The E-GMP platform punches well above most expectations for an EV; the AWD IONIQ 5 reaches 60mph in just over five seconds, but that performance brings weight with it, and the front axle carries most of it. Kerb weights approaching 2,100kg in long-range AWD configuration mean the stock front brakes are working considerably harder than their specification suggests, particularly once regenerative contribution drops off above motorway speeds or under repeated hard stops.
XYZ Racing’s front brake kit gives the IONIQ 5’s nose the stopping hardware to match what the drivetrain delivers. Three pad compounds mean the same kit works sensibly across daily driving, fast-road runs, and track sessions where sustained thermal load is the real test.
What this brake kit does for your 2021-2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5
Regenerative braking handles the everyday scrubbing of speed that most EVs manage perfectly well, but sustained hard deceleration, trail braking into a chicane or repeated full stops from high speed on circuit, places thermal demands entirely on the mechanical system. Two-piece floating discs disperse heat more efficiently than solid equivalents, reducing fade on the front axle where the IONIQ 5’s weight distribution concentrates braking load. Three pad compounds let owners calibrate bite, modulation, and operating temperature window to their actual use case rather than inheriting whatever the factory budget permitted: Street for quiet, low-dust daily running, Sport for a wider heat range on harder drives, and Racing for sustained high-temperature work. Caliper colour is set when you order from Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, all included at no extra cost, giving the installation a considered finish through open-spoke alloys.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The kit centres on two-piece floating discs that manage heat through increased airflow between the friction surfaces, particularly relevant on a platform that regularly asks the front axle to manage close to a tonne of sprung mass at speed. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, fed by braided lines. The Street compound suits daily drivers where regenerative braking handles the majority of deceleration events and cold-bite matters more than peak temperature tolerance. The Sport compound raises the ceiling for fast-road use and occasional track days, where brakes see temperatures that stock pads begin to struggle with. The Racing compound is intended for sustained high-speed braking cycles, prioritising a consistent friction coefficient across a wide temperature range over low-effort cold performance. For serious track use the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, and beyond the included caliper colours you can specify a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) or candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange).
Fitment for the Hyundai IONIQ 5 (2021-2026)
This front brake kit covers the Hyundai IONIQ 5 across the full 2021 to 2026 model year span, applicable to both RWD single-motor and AWD dual-motor variants on the E-GMP architecture. Confirm wheel clearance and hub bore against your specific alloy fitment before ordering, particularly if running aftermarket wheels outside OEM sizing.

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.
