XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz CLK 320 W209 (2003-2009)

The W209 CLK 320’s M112 V6 was always more grand tourer than track weapon, smooth, torque-led and effortlessly quick on fast A-roads, but not urgently focused in the way of the AMG variants that shared the platform. What the 320 does have is the W209’s rear-wheel drive layout, substantial front-axle loading, and a kerb weight well above what its two-door proportions suggest. Push the CLK into sustained braking, hard stops from motorway speed, repeated zones on a tight circuit, and the factory calipers and rotors start to talk back in ways the original road-going brief never demanded.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit for the Mercedes Benz CLK 320 W209 is the straightforward answer. It replaces the standard front setup with a pair of larger calipers and discs matched to how these cars are actually used now, increasingly as drivers’ GT coupes that see circuit sessions as well as cross-country miles. You set compound and colour when you order from the options above.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2009 Mercedes Benz CLK 320 W209

The hollow-vane discs vent air through the rotor body to dissipate heat more effectively under sustained braking, which matters most when the W209’s mass loads the front axle through repeated stopping zones. Three pad compounds let the setup match how the car is used: Street for a road-focused, low-dust build, Sport for a driver splitting time between commuting and circuit sessions, and Racing for those running the CLK 320 in timed events where brake temperatures build and hold across a full day.

The lighter two-piece floating disc also trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners, and discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the XYZ Racing Front Brake Kit

This is a bolt-on front brake upgrade positioned between factory replacements and full competition hardware. The two-piece floating disc geometry improves heat rejection compared to a standard vented rotor, a meaningful difference on a front-engine GT coupe where braking load concentrates at the front axle and the OEM setup was never specified for repeat high-speed stops. The caliper is hollow-body forged as standard, fed by braided lines for a firm pedal.

Three pad compounds serve multiple use profiles without a hardware change: Street pads for a road-biased, low-dust setup, Sport where the car mixes everyday use with occasional circuit work, and Racing for proper motorsport use. Caliper colour is selected at order. Included 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.
