Caliper render for this kit:

The W210 E 200’s 2.0-litre M111 four-cylinder was the entry-level engine in a saloon that tips the scales at over 1,500 kilograms. The braking demands on the front axle under hard deceleration are considerable, and the original specification, tuned around the E 200’s comfort-oriented suspension, was designed for everyday use rather than repeated hard stops. Three decades on, the W210 survivors tend to belong to drivers who know the chassis well and have already improved it in other ways.
This XYZ Racing front brake kit is a pair of larger calipers and discs sized for the front axle of the E CLASS W210 E 200, covering the full production span from 1995 to 2003. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, mean the same fitment suits a W210 on daily duty and one that sees spirited fast-road work. You set the specification when you order from the options above.
What this brake kit does for your 1995-2003 Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 E 200
The hollow-vane disc vents air through the rotor body to carry heat away from the friction surface faster than a solid disc, directly relevant on a 1,500-kilogram platform that loads the front axle hard under late braking from motorway speeds. The lighter two-piece floating disc lowers rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle, which sharpens the W210’s steering response, a car whose standard calibration prioritises ride comfort over immediacy.
Street pads offer progressive, quiet, low-dust bite over a broad operating range; Sport widens the window for spirited driving on fast B-roads and dual carriageways; Racing raises the thermal ceiling for drivers who push the front axle harder and more consistently. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price.
About the XYZ Racing Front Brake Kit
The two-piece floating disc reduces rotating mass while preserving the swept area the W210’s front axle requires under hard deceleration, and the hollow-vane construction vents through the rotor body. The caliper is hollow-body forged as standard, fed by braided lines for a firm pedal. Pad compound is selected at order: Street for routine road use, Sport for spirited driving, and Racing where sustained higher temperatures are expected.
Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with Custom Color matching any Pantone for 150 pounds. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and the candy range adds Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium, and the optional Hollow Racing caliper, rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty, suits serious track use. The three-compound structure reflects the spread of W210 E 200s now in active use, from genuine daily drivers to cars given suspension, tyre or engine work that raises the demands on the braking system.

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.
