Caliper render for this kit:

The C12 Tiida’s factory front brakes were specced for a compact family car in everyday service, adequate for commuting and urban use but showing their limits once the driving becomes sustained. Front-wheel drive concentrates stopping loads at the front axle; on the C12 the front discs and pads carry the majority of every hard braking event, and the factory hardware reflects the budget of a sensible mass-market hatchback rather than something built with corners in mind.
This XYZ Racing front brake kit addresses that gap for the 2013-2026 Tiida C12, upgrading the front axle with a matched pair of lighter hollow-vane discs and calipers and a choice of three pad compounds. Caliper colours round out the package for owners where the wheel gap is part of the build’s direction.
What this brake kit does for your 2013-2026 Nissan Tiida C12
The hollow-vane disc construction reduces rotating and unsprung mass at the front axle, a meaningful gain on a FWD car where the front corners simultaneously carry engine load, drivetrain weight, and primary braking duty. Lighter rotating mass means faster thermal recovery between brake events and less heat transfer into the caliper and fluid under repeated hard stops, with the internal vanes pulling heat off the friction face. Three pad grades give the kit genuine range: Street is the quiet, low-dust default that holds its characteristics across everyday temperatures; Sport increases bite for drivers mixing routine driving with faster road work; Racing is specified for sustained high-temperature use where repeat hard stops push beyond what a road pad handles cleanly.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
What sets this kit apart from a standard disc replacement is the hollow-vane construction: the rotor body carries weight-reducing voids while maintaining the full swept surface required for effective pad contact and heat dissipation, and it is supplied as a pair of front discs and calipers. On the Tiida C12’s front-wheel-drive layout, where stopping energy concentrates at the front axle in any hard braking event, the reduction in rotating mass is functional rather than cosmetic. Pad compound spans Street, Sport, and Racing grades, each matched to a different friction coefficient and temperature band, so the kit suits a C12 in daily use as readily as one brought out for more demanding weekend driving. 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, letting the visible hardware align with wheel finish, body colour, or the direction of the wider build. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable at checkout. Front-axle fitment only: this is the position where the C12’s braking demand is highest and where the hollow-vane advantage is most relevant.
Fitment for the Nissan Tiida C12 (2013-2026)
This kit fits the Nissan Tiida in C12 specification, covering model years 2013 through 2026. It is a front-axle fitment, targeting the braking position that carries the highest thermal load on the C12’s front-wheel-drive platform.

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.
