Caliper render for this kit:
At 2,100kg with a V12 powertrain package concentrated over the front axle, the W220 S 600 places heavy demands on its front brake circuit by any measure. Mercedes specified the original stopping hardware for progressive, quiet deceleration, correct for a car earning its keep as executive transport, but not the specification that serves the enthusiasts keeping these cars on the road in 2026.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the S CLASS W220 S 600 covers the full 2000-2005 production run. A matched pair of left and right front calipers and two-piece floating discs addresses the rotating mass and heat-management problem directly, and a choice of pad compound means the setup can be built around how the car is actually driven.
What this brake kit does for your 2000-2005 Mercedes Benz S CLASS W220 S 600
The two-piece floating, hollow-vane rotor reduces rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners without compromising the friction surface, and the floating bell lets the friction ring expand under heat without coning. On a platform where the V12 powertrain contributes a meaningful proportion of that 2,100kg to the front axle, the reduction in rotating inertia gives the AIRMATIC suspension more accurate contact-patch information under hard braking, so the car stops squarer and the front end tracks more consistently through the deceleration phase. The three pad compounds let owners match the brake specification to actual use: Street is the quiet, low-dust road default for predominantly road miles, Sport adds bite and heat range for spirited fast-road work, and Racing is the track compound for circuit visits. Disc faces are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, completing the installation through the wheel.
About the Front Brake Kit
The two-piece floating, hollow-vane rotor cuts rotating mass at each wheel end while retaining full structural integrity. The engineering logic applies acutely to heavy front-engined platforms: less rotating inertia means the front suspension can manage deceleration forces without the brakes working against it, and the difference is noticeable on a car of the W220 S 600’s mass. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, light and stiff to resist flex, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for dedicated track sessions that deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. Braided lines firm the pedal, and centre bells can be upgraded to two-tone anodizing in five colours or titanium at checkout. Caliper finishes run from the included painted colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, through a Custom Color in any Pantone for 150 pounds, to premium polished-forged and candy options for owners who want a specific colour match. The kit is built to the W220 front brake architecture, with rotor dimensions and caliper mountings referenced to this generation’s geometry.
Fitment for the Mercedes Benz S CLASS W220 S 600 (2000-2005)
This front brake kit covers the W220 S CLASS S 600 across the 2000 to 2005 model years and is supplied as a left-and-right front pair. The S 600 used a consistent front brake mounting setup throughout this production window, and the kit is compatible with both early and late V12 variants in this generation. Confirm your chassis code (W220) and build year before configuring.

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.
