XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Lexus RC 300 (2014-2017)

The RC 300 sits below the RC F in Lexus’s coupe range, but the GS-derived platform’s kerb weight and the factory brake specification, callipers sized for refined road use rather than sustained hard stops, mean the front-axle hardware does not fully match the car’s mass once you start pushing the pace. A track session, a long descent or repeated hard braking on the road exposes that gap clearly.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the 2014-2017 RC 300 closes it. It is a single-axle upgrade: a matched left-and-right pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs with braided lines. The two-piece floating disc reduces rotating mass at the front wheels and improves heat dissipation through better airflow, while three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, mean the kit configures for daily driving or track use from the same hardware.

What this brake kit does for your 2014-2017 Lexus RC 300

The front axle on a front-engined RWD coupe of the RC 300’s weight class handles a significant proportion of braking force under any meaningful deceleration, which is why the two-piece disc’s reduced rotational inertia matters here: less mass spinning at each corner means the front suspension reacts more accurately over braking bumps and heat accumulates less aggressively through repeat stops. The hollow-vane friction ring carries that heat off the disc face. The three pad compounds address the RC 300’s split personality: Street covers quiet, low-dust road performance without compromising daily comfort, Sport improves fade resistance for drivers who use the car hard on the road, and Racing holds up through sustained on-track braking cycles where Sport-spec pads would soften. Painted caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, let the front brakes complement or contrast with the RC’s factory wheel finish without a paint job.

About the front big brake kit

The two-piece floating disc is the key engineering distinction. Conventional cast discs move air radially through internal vane channels; the hollow-vane friction ring sheds material more aggressively, reducing both rotational inertia and the thermal mass that stores heat during repeat braking. The result is a front assembly that builds temperature more slowly and recovers faster between stops, relevant on any front-engined car carrying the RC 300’s build quality and weight. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard; for sustained track work 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 compound grades are distinct specifications, not one compound rebranded: Racing needs working temperature to perform at its best but resists the fade that pushes the Sport compound past its effective range at sustained pace. Painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, 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, with a centre-bell upgrade to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium at checkout.

Fitment for the Lexus RC 300 (2014-2017)

This front brake kit is built specifically for the Lexus RC 300 produced between 2014 and 2017 and fits the front axle as a left-and-right pair. The XYZ-BRK-BKF-LE-026-FRONT part reference covers the front assembly for this fitment. If the car has had prior brake modifications, confirm the existing front rotor specification before ordering.
