Fits Mercedes Benz GLA H247 (2020-2026)

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.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz GLA H247 (2020-2026) — 356 mm
356 mm

The H247 generation GLA brought a significantly sharper driving character than the X156 it replaced, lower, stiffer, and with AMG variants pushing well beyond 400bhp in the GLA 45 S. Those performance models in particular place serious demands on the front axle: the MFA2 platform’s front-biased torque distribution means the front brakes absorb the majority of kinetic energy under hard stops, and the factory setup, while adequate for routine road use, can show its limits when the driving gets sustained and serious.

This XYZ Racing front brake kit is the direct upgrade path for GLA H247 owners who want more consistent stopping authority and the ability to specify pad compound against how they actually use the car, from daily commuting through to occasional circuit sessions. It fits the front axle as a pair of discs and calipers.

What this brake kit does for your 2020-2026 Mercedes Benz GLA H247

The larger swept area distributes braking heat across a greater disc surface with each pedal application. On a compact crossover like the H247, where body mass sits higher than a saloon equivalent, that improved thermal capacity translates directly into fade resistance under repeated hard braking. The two-piece floating disc construction reduces rotating and unsprung weight at the front axle, a meaningful gain on a platform where the MFA2 architecture already balances well but rewards the reduction in rotating mass with sharper initial response and more consistent pedal feel, and the floating ring expands without warping. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, mean the kit operates appropriately across its intended range: Street delivers quiet, low-dust, reliable cold-bite for UK conditions, Sport opens the heat range for harder road use, and Racing is available for drivers who take their GLA to track days. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper finishes, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone match and premium polished-forged or candy finishes, complete the installation against the H247’s wheel design.

About the front brake kit

XYZ Racing’s two-piece floating disc removes material from the disc through its internal vane geometry without compromising structural integrity under load, keeping front-axle rotating mass lower than a conventional cast iron setup of comparable diameter and improving thermal management so heat dissipates more efficiently and fade is less likely when the brakes are worked hard. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing caliper, no dust cover, rated to 1000C, two-year warranty, for harder use. Three pad compounds address the range of use cases: Street for buyers who want a higher-specification disc and caliper alongside a familiar compound, Sport optimised for on-road performance across a wide temperature range, Racing for the sustained high-speed braking loads that would stress a stock setup. Braided lines firm the pedal, and centre bell upgrades in five anodized colours or titanium are selectable at checkout, so the kit reads clearly through the H247’s alloy spoke pattern.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz GLA H247 (2020-2026)

This front brake kit is specified for the Mercedes Benz GLA H247 chassis across its full production run from 2020 to 2026. The H247 designation covers all engine variants in this generation, including both the AMG GLA 35 and the GLA 45 S, so verify your exact model specification against part number XYZ-BRK-BKF-ME-89-C-FRONT before ordering to confirm caliper clearance against your chosen wheel fitment.

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.
