Caliper render for this kit:
The A32 Cefiro and its Maxima-badged counterpart run a front-wheel-drive VQ layout that places braking duty and drivetrain load on the same axle. Under sustained use, whether an extended fast-road descent or a track day with hard repeat braking zones, that arrangement pushes the limits of a front brake specification designed around ordinary road use.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces that factory hardware on the 1994-1998 Nissan Cefiro A32 Maxima with a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs. Pad compound is your choice of Street, Sport, or Racing, and the caliper arrives painted in one of five included colours at no extra cost.
What this brake kit does for your 1994-1998 Nissan CEFIRO A32 MAXIMA
On a FWD saloon where the VQ’s weight sits over the driven front wheels, those wheels absorb the majority of every braking load. Larger swept area converts kinetic energy to heat more efficiently, and the hollow-vane discs draw airflow through the disc body to shed it faster than the standard setup manages on a hard run. The two-piece floating construction lets the friction ring expand against the alloy bell without coning, keeping the disc true and the pedal firm, and the lighter assembly trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front.
Pad choice covers the practical range of A32 use. Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for a car that doubles as a daily. Sport adds bite and heat range for spirited road driving. Racing holds consistent behaviour at the sustained temperatures a track day generates. Caliper colour is your choice of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone shade available, plus premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange).
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, balancing stiffness against weight. For serious track use the optional Hollow Racing caliper removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The kit covers the front axle, the driven end of the A32’s layout and the one that absorbs the greatest braking load by a significant margin. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, and braided lines complete the system. Pad compound and caliper colour are specified at the time of order.
Fitment for the Nissan CEFIRO A32 MAXIMA (1994-1998)
This front brake kit is matched to the hub geometry of the Nissan Cefiro A32 and the Maxima variant produced between 1994 and 1998. The A32 chassis replaced the rear-wheel-drive A31 in Nissan’s sports-luxury range, carrying the VQ V6 and a front-hub specification shared across standard and Maxima trim during this period. If you are fitting aftermarket wheels alongside this kit, check front PCD and hub bore against the full product specification before ordering.

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.
