Fits Mazda 3 2.3 MPS (2005-2010)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mazda 3 2.3 MPS (2005-2010) — 330 mm
330 mm

The 2.3-litre turbocharged Mazda 3 MPS puts serious power through the front axle, and those same front wheels that accelerate the car are doing almost all the stopping work too. On the road the factory brake spec keeps pace. Push harder, repeated track-day sessions or a fast B-road run after run, and you start to notice the pedal going long before the tyres do. That is the gap a big brake upgrade closes.

XYZ Racing’s front big brake kit is the direct response to that factory limitation on the 2005-2010 Mazda 3 2.3 MPS. You receive a pair of front calipers and a pair of front discs, and you configure the kit, three pad compounds, disc style, and caliper finish, above this copy when you order, rather than living with a compromise that suits nothing properly.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2010 Mazda 3 2.3 MPS

A front-wheel-drive chassis carries an inherent load imbalance: the front axle handles acceleration, steering, and the majority of braking at once. On the MPS, with the turbocharged four over the nose and the front wheels doing the lion’s share of work under hard braking, heat management at the front rotor is the difference between consistent stops and a softening pedal. The larger hollow-vane disc adds thermal capacity, so the bite point stays predictable as temperatures climb through a long session. Two-piece floating discs cut rotating and unsprung mass at the front, and braided lines firm the pedal by removing rubber-hose expansion. Run Street for the quiet, low-dust daily, step to Sport for fast-road use and occasional track days, or fit Racing compound for sustained high-temperature work on circuit.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

This is a complete front-axle upgrade covering disc, caliper, mounting hardware, pads, and braided lines, mounting directly to the existing front upright and hub carrier on the Mazda 3 MPS at the factory bolt locations without chassis modification. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, light but stiff, and for circuit-focused owners the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. This is a front-only kit; the rear brake arrangement is unchanged.

Discs can be drilled or slotted at the same price, with centre bells available two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium. Included caliper colours, at no extra cost, are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver finishes and a candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange.

Fitment for the Mazda 3 2.3 MPS (2005-2010)

This kit is confirmed for the Mazda 3 2.3 MPS across the 2005 to 2010 production run. It is specific to the 2.3-litre turbocharged MPS variant; the standard 1.6 and 2.0 Mazda 3 petrol models run a different front upright and caliper mount and this kit will not fit them. Confirm the 2.3 MPS designation on your V5C or chassis plate 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.
