Fits Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 E 240 (1995-2003)

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.

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.

Front brakes on the W210 E 240 were spec’d for a comfortable executive saloon, not sustained high-temperature endurance work, and the difference shows when the car is driven with intent. Repeated hard stops from high road speeds reveal the limits of stock hardware on ageing W210s well before the chassis itself runs out of composure.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit for the Mercedes Benz E Class W210 E 240 (1995-2003) replaces the original front assembly with a pair of larger calipers and discs built to a different brief. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, mean the kit can be matched to how this W210 is actually used, from daily driving to circuit preparation. You set it when you order from the options above.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-2003 Mercedes Benz E Class W210 E 240

The hollow-vane disc delivers two measurable advantages on a car of the E 240’s mass: improved heat dissipation under sustained braking load, as air moves through the rotor body, and reduced unsprung weight against heavier solid alternatives thanks to two-piece floating construction. Both matter on a W210 driven at pace, where repeated hard stops from high road speeds generate the sustained thermal load that fades standard pads and softens pedal feel. The Sport compound retains progressive bite and cold-weather response for fast-road driving; the Racing compound sharpens initial response for higher-temperature track work; Street keeps everyday running quiet and low-dust.

Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, so the choice comes down to feel and appearance.

About the XYZ Racing Front Brake Kit

Built around two-piece floating discs designed to shed mass while drawing airflow through the rotor body under load, this is a complete front-axle pair rather than a selective component swap. The hollow-vane construction reduces thermal build-up during sustained stops and brings down unsprung weight at the front axle, where the W210’s braking duty is concentrated. The caliper is hollow-body forged as standard, fed by braided lines for a firm pedal. Pad compound is selected at order, Street, Sport or Racing, setting the operating temperature range and bite from the outset.

Calipers are available in the included colours of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with Custom Color matching any Pantone for 150 pounds for specific colour requirements. 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. For a generation of Mercedes that continues to attract owners who invest in their cars, this is a meaningful mechanical upgrade.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz E Class W210 E 240 (1995-2003)

This front kit is developed for the Mercedes Benz E Class W210, E 240 variant, covering production years 1995 to 2003. Before ordering, confirm existing front brake disc dimensions and caliper mounting points, as W210 variants can differ in original brake specification depending on market and trim level. Front-axle fitment only; rear brakes are not covered by this part number.

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.
