Caliper render for this kit:
The W204 C 350 4MATIC arrives with more frontal mass than the stock brake package was sized to manage at pace. All-wheel-drive hardware and a 3.5-litre V6 make this one of the heavier W204 variants, with the 4MATIC system loading the front axle with drivetrain componentry that its rear-wheel-drive stable-mate does not carry. On the road the standard setup is adequate; pushed through a track evening or a sustained descent with a loaded car, the pedal travel grows and the margin narrows.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Mercedes Benz C Class W204 C 350 4MATIC (2007-2014) upgrades the front assembly with a matched pair of left and right calipers and hollow-vane two-piece floating discs, and a choice of three pad compounds, Street, Sport or Racing, so the operating window can be matched to how the car is actually used rather than to a compromise position.
What this brake kit does for your 2007-2014 Mercedes Benz C CLASS W204 C 350 4MATIC
Hollow-vane disc construction reduces unsprung rotating mass at the front axle, worthwhile on a car where the 4MATIC system already adds weight above the steering rack. Lighter rotating mass sharpens pedal response and helps the disc cycle through heat more efficiently, which the W204 4MATIC needs when its momentum meets a braking zone repeatedly. The two-piece floating construction lets the rotor expand without distorting, and braided lines keep the pedal firm. The three pad compounds separate use cases clearly: Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for a daily driver that catches the occasional spirited road; Sport suits cars splitting time between commutes and circuit evenings; Racing is for timed sessions where fade resistance takes precedence over cold-morning performance.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit takes its name from the hollow-vane disc architecture, which removes material from the disc structure to cut rotational weight while preserving the swept face area and disc rigidity the front axle needs under hard braking. The construction improves heat management under sustained load, a relevant consideration when a heavier 4MATIC saloon is being driven at pace through repeated braking zones, and the caliper is hollow-bodied as standard. Pad compound choice at order sets the friction and temperature window: Street for road use with occasional hard driving; Sport for mixed road and track exposure; Racing for sessions where maximum bite and fade resistance matter above all else. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and an optional Hollow Racing caliper upgrade for serious track work drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.
Caliper finish is specified when you order. Five painted colours are included at no extra cost: Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, plus candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, are selectable at checkout.

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.
