Caliper render for this kit:

The XF30 LS 430’s engineering priority was isolation from the outside world: its 3UZ-FE V8 spinning with near-silent smoothness, its ride absorbing everything a motorway could throw at it. Those same characteristics make the factory braking setup the limiting factor once an owner starts using the car the way the V8 actually invites. In excess of 1,800kg of luxury saloon decelerating from motorway pace or into a late apex puts honest demands on the stoppers, and the OEM specification was not written for repeated hard use.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Lexus LS 430 (2001-2006) takes that gap on directly. It is a single-axle upgrade: a matched left-and-right pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs, with braided lines. Three pad compounds span standard road use through to circuit work, while the painted caliper colours mean the installation suits everything from a concours-clean daily to a stripped weekend project.
What this big brake kit does for your 2001-2006 Lexus LS 430 (XF30)
The LS 430 XF30 concentrates its 4.3-litre V8 mass ahead of the front axle, and under hard braking that front axle absorbs the majority of deceleration load. A larger swept area than the OEM setup gives that load somewhere to go without fade accumulating through repeated applications. The two-piece floating disc with its hollow-vane friction ring reduces rotating mass at the front corners. On a platform with the LS 430’s structural refinement, that reduction in unsprung weight produces a more direct response from the front end during trail-braking, while the hollow-vane construction carries heat off the disc face. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let the same kit cover track days and daily commutes without a kit change: Street stays quiet and low-dust, Sport widens the heat range, Racing is the full track compound.
About the front big brake kit
The two-piece floating disc is what separates this XYZ Racing kit from a basic upgrade. Where a standard cast rotor relies on internal vane geometry alone for cooling, the hollow-vane friction ring reduces rotating mass while managing heat, relevant on a platform where the OEM brakes were specified conservatively for a comfort-biased brief. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard; for the hardest sustained use you can step up to the Hollow Racing caliper, which loses the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The three pad compounds cover a realistic range from fast B-roads through to circuit sessions without separate brake sets. Painted caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with any Pantone available as a Custom Color for £150, premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium at checkout.
Fitment for the Lexus LS 430 (XF30) (2001-2006)
This front big brake kit covers the Lexus LS 430 on the XF30 (UCF30) chassis across the full 2001-2006 production run, fitting the front axle as a left-and-right pair. The XF30 is distinct from the later LS 460 XF40 platform; confirm your chassis code before ordering, as no components interchange between generations. This kit addresses the front axle only, with rear braking left at standard specification.

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.
