Caliper render for this kit:

The S15 Silvia was the sharpest, most communicative S-chassis Nissan produced, a platform where front-axle braking behaviour directly shapes what the rear does. Trail-braking into a tight hairpin or holding speed through a fast bend, what happens at the front discs matters. Factory hardware on a production run that ended in 2002 is now more than two decades old, and the SR20DET Spec R was never specced for sustained circuit or high-frequency drift sessions off the shelf.
This XYZ Racing front brake kit gives S15 owners a fitment-confirmed front-axle upgrade to address exactly that. It supplies a matched pair of front discs and calipers, with three pad compounds so the owner can match friction characteristics to actual use, and a range of caliper colours that make the installation count visually.
What this brake kit does for your 1999-2002 Nissan SILVIA S15
Hollow-vane disc construction reduces rotating and unsprung weight compared with solid alternatives and improves heat dissipation under load, which counts on an S15 where the front brakes work repeatedly through each braking zone at a trackday or an extended drift session. The Racing compound delivers firmer pedal feel and stronger fade resistance once discs reach operating temperature, the compound to reach for if the car is on semi-slicks and being driven hard. Street and Sport compounds cover road registration and mixed-use driving: Street is the quiet, low-dust default, while Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road and the occasional track day without the cold-temperature penalty a full Racing pad carries. Caliper colour options let the install match the car’s existing direction, whether that’s clean period-correct or full show-car build.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The hollow-vane disc design channels heat away from the braking surface more efficiently than a conventional vented disc under sustained load. XYZ Racing’s front kit is a complete assembly of caliper, disc, and pads designed to mount directly to the S15’s front hub without modification to the knuckle or stub axle, supplied as a pair for the front axle. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, cover the full range from commuter duty through to competition use. 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 colour 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 available. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable at checkout, making this a functional upgrade that does not need finishing work to look intentional.
Fitment for the Nissan SILVIA S15 (1999-2002)
This kit covers the Nissan Silvia S15 across the full production span from 1999 to 2002. Both the turbocharged SR20DET Spec R and the naturally aspirated SR20DE Spec S variants are included in this fitment. If the car has previously had non-standard brake components fitted, verify existing front hub and knuckle dimensions 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.
