Caliper render for this kit:
Without the turbocharged MPS in the Mazda 3 line-up for this generation, owners pushing the 2.5L BM/BN on circuit or fast road find themselves braking harder and later than the front-axle hardware was designed to handle consistently. The TYPE I’s standard brakes are capable on a country road, but the thermal ceiling arrives sooner than the car’s otherwise composed chassis implies it should.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Mazda 3 (TYPE I) is a direct-fit front-axle upgrade for the 2014 to 2018 generation. 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, so the spec matches actual use rather than asking one compound to cover everything.
What this brake kit does for your 2014-2018 Mazda 3 (TYPE I)
Two-piece floating discs cut rotating mass at the front axle, and on a naturally aspirated front-wheel-drive platform like the BM/BN Mazda 3, where the drivetrain builds momentum smoothly rather than in a turbo-fed burst, that reduction reads clearly at the steering wheel as well as through the brake pedal. The hollow-vane disc holds heat off the friction face under repeated stops, and braided lines firm the pedal by removing rubber-hose expansion. Initial bite arrives with less rotational inertia fighting the deceleration, and front-end composure through the early part of a corner improves with it. Sport raises the fade threshold meaningfully over the stock pad while keeping acceptable cold-morning manners, Racing handles the sustained temperatures of a track session, and Street is the quiet, low-dust everyday default.
About the Hollow Front Big Brake Kit
Supplied as a complete front-axle braking system, the kit brings together new hollow-vane discs, calipers in a choice of finishes, braided lines, and a pad compound chosen when you order. The hollow-vane disc reduces bell-section mass relative to a conventional ventilated rotor, so unsprung weight falls without any reduction in swept area or thermal capacity. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, light yet stiff, and for circuit use the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. Compound selection of Street, Sport, or Racing is made at purchase, so the kit arrives ready to fit the intended application.
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.

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.
