Caliper render for this kit:
The PS SOUL carries a natural front-brake bias. The FWD layout, a centre of gravity higher than a conventional hot hatch, and the weight typical of a crossover body mean the front discs and pads do the dominant work on every stop. Kia’s OE spec handles that duty under normal conditions, but load the front axle repeatedly through a track day or a sustained descent, and the factory hardware reveals its calibration is aimed at commuting, not circuit use.
XYZ Racing’s front big brake kit is a direct replacement for the SOUL PS MK2’s standard front hardware, covering the full 2014-2019 production window. Pad compound is chosen at order across three grades, and the caliper is offered across a full finish range from no-cost painted colours through premium candy and polished-forged options.
What this brake kit does for your 2014-2019 Kia SOUL (PS) MK2
Uprating the front brakes on a front-wheel-drive crossover returns more gain per component than on a car where braking balance is more evenly distributed. On the PS SOUL, the front discs handle the majority of stopping duty, so improvements here are felt immediately in pedal consistency and fade resistance. The larger two-piece floating disc reduces heat energy per unit of friction surface, keeping bite point and pedal weight stable across successive stops rather than allowing a gradual softness to build as heat soaks through the OE hardware. The floating bell keeps the rotor flat under load, the lighter rotating assembly trims unsprung mass, and braided lines firm the pedal.
The three compounds are genuinely distinct. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for a road-focused build used occasionally hard. Sport raises the thermal ceiling for fast-road work and the odd track visit. Racing is the dedicated circuit compound for sustained time on track where temperatures stay consistently elevated. You select the compound when you order.
About the front big brake kit
The kit pairs a hollow-body forged caliper as standard with a two-piece floating disc sized to exceed the standard factory diameter for increased thermal capacity and improved initial bite. It arrives as a complete front-axle fitment, packaging disc and caliper together for both sides. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades come as two-tone anodizing in five colours, or titanium, selectable at checkout.
Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, with a premium candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. For committed circuit use, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The finished installation reflects the build brief from the start rather than requiring post-fit rework.
Fitment for the Kia SOUL (PS) MK2 (2014-2019)
This kit is built specifically for the Kia SOUL in its second-generation PS MK2 form, covering the full production run from 2014 to 2019. The PS designation is Hyundai-Kia’s internal development code for this generation, distinct from the original first-generation AM SOUL, and the fitment covers the complete range of SOUL variants produced under that platform code across the stated years. Confirm your build year falls within the 2014-2019 window 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.
