XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Nissan SILVIA S14 (1995-1998)

The S14 is a chassis that earns its reputation through balance and driver involvement, but the stock front brakes are one area where physics eventually wins. Known in the UK as the 200SX, the S14 carries around 70kg more kerb weight than the S13 it replaced, roughly 1,280kg in SR20DET form, and under sustained braking loads the factory caliper setup runs out of thermal headroom before most owners would like.

This XYZ Racing front brake kit answers that directly. It supplies a matched pair of front discs and calipers, with three pad compounds that cover everything from daily road use through full track-day sessions, and caliper colour choices that make it as relevant to the S14 builds that spend weekends at shows as to the ones that wear tyres on circuit.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-1998 Nissan SILVIA S14

Front brake performance matters specifically on the S14 because of how the chassis uses it. Under hard trail-braking, the rear-wheel-drive layout rewards drivers who can modulate pedal pressure with precision across an entire session, and that requires a front end with consistent bite, not one that softens as the discs soak up heat on repeated runs. The kit raises the thermal ceiling at the front axle through hollow-vane discs that pull heat off the friction face, so fade is less likely to arrive during the runs that count. For those who have pushed SR20DET output further with bigger turbos or built engines, front braking that scales with the additional speed makes the wider modification programme coherent. The Racing compound brings event-grade stopping to the same assembly without needing a separate caliper for track days; Sport covers fast road and occasional circuit, and Street keeps a quiet, low-dust daily.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

Built as a front-axle upgrade for the S14 platform, this XYZ Racing front brake kit supplies a pair of front discs and calipers engineered to exceed the original specification in sustained use. Three pad compounds, Street for everyday road miles, Sport for spirited driving and occasional track exposure, and Racing for dedicated event use, let the owner configure the setup for the session without swapping the caliper assembly. The calipers are hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.

Caliper finish covers Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color option matching any Pantone for an additional fee and premium polished-forged and candy finishes for builds with a specific colour scheme. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, and the hollow-vane geometry promotes airflow across the swept surface under load, keeping operating temperatures in the range where pedal feel holds its character across multiple braking events rather than softening through a session.

Fitment for the Nissan SILVIA S14 (1995-1998)

This kit is a direct front-axle fitment for the Nissan Silvia S14, covering the 1995 to 1998 model years, a span that takes in both the early zenki production cars and the kouki facelift variants that followed the 1996 refresh. Confirm your existing brake spec and wheel clearance before ordering; compound, disc style, and caliper colour are all selectable when you order.
