Caliper render for this kit:

The C11 Tiida was never sold on its braking credentials. Nissan specified the front caliper and disc around a 1.5-litre economy car intended for urban kilometres, not for drivers who’ve since discovered what the chassis can do when pushed. On an FWD platform with a torsion-beam rear that contributes modest stopping force, the front axle handles nearly all of every deceleration. On a sustained fast road drive or an autocross session, the stock single-piston sliding caliper reaches its limits before the chassis does.
This XYZ Racing front brake kit is a direct-fit upgrade for the Nissan Tiida C11 from 2004 through 2012, replacing the standard setup with a matched pair of larger front calipers and discs sized to the way the car is actually used.
What this brake kit does for your 2004-2012 Nissan TIIDA C11
Replacing the OEM single-piston slider shifts front braking capacity upwards in two ways: more rotor swept area absorbs and disperses heat under load, and the larger rotor radius multiplies braking torque, so the front end responds more sharply with less pedal travel for the same deceleration. The hollow-vane discs pull heat off the friction face to keep that response consistent. Three pad compounds let owners tune the character: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for an OEM-style daily feel, Sport suits C11 owners who drive with consistent enthusiasm on open roads, and Racing is for circuit or autocross use where thermal resistance takes priority over cold bite. Caliper finishes are specified when you order.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
This is one of XYZ Racing’s direct-fit front upgrades for vehicles where original-equipment braking was sized to cost and market-positioning targets rather than driving intensity. Each kit is a matched pair of front calipers and discs; compound and finish are selected when you order rather than fixed at manufacture. The larger rotor diameter over OEM delivers a wider swept area for heat transfer under repeated hard stops, and the increased rotor radius means the caliper generates more braking torque for the same hydraulic pressure. For an FWD car like the C11, where the front brakes manage the lion’s share of every stop, that gain translates directly into fade resistance and pedal consistency when you’re working the car hard. 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.
Available finishes span 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.
Fitment for the Nissan TIIDA C11 (2004-2012)
This kit is specified for the Nissan Tiida C11 chassis, covering the full production run from 2004 to 2012. Before ordering, confirm the front hub carriers are to standard specification; previous modifications involving non-OEM knuckles or hubs can affect caliper bracket clearance in ways the direct-fit design does not account for.

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.
