XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Porsche 997 C2 (130) (2005-2011)

The 997’s rear-engined weight bias leaves its front axle carrying a lighter braking load than most sports cars, but the same rearward balance that makes the 911 so rewarding to trail-brake into a corner also means the front brake system is doing precise, sensitive work every time you modulate at turn-in. This XYZ Racing front big brake kit is built for exactly that role: harder initial bite, reduced fade across repeated brake zones, and a pedal that stays consistent when a standard setup starts to soften.

Specify it in Street, Sport, or Racing compound, with drilled or slotted discs at the same price, and finish the caliper to suit the car. The kit fits the front axle as a matched left and right pair with two-piece floating discs.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2011 Porsche 997 C2

Both the 997.1 and 997.2 came well-equipped from Stuttgart, but the standard brake specification was calibrated for road use, capable at the limit but not designed for the heat cycles that fast laps at Cadwell Park or Anglesey impose. The hollow-vane disc channels heat away from the disc face more efficiently than a standard solid item, keeping pad and fluid temperatures in a manageable range through the kind of repeated, hard braking zones the OEM system wasn’t sized for. Three compounds mean you can run the kit in Street trim for daily road use, step up to Sport for spirited driving, or commission the Racing compound for events where brake temperature management becomes part of the session strategy. Two-piece floating disc construction lets the friction ring expand and cool independently of the bell.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

Hollow-vane discs operate on a straightforward principle: remove material from inside the disc and you improve its ability to shed heat without reducing structural integrity at the braking surface. XYZ Racing’s design for the 997 C2 front axle uses this construction to raise the operating ceiling of the brake system, the point at which fade, fade-induced vibration, or fluid boil becomes a problem under sustained effort. The forged caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty. Combined with the three compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, you are configuring a brake system rather than installing a single fixed-spec part, and the hollow-disc foundation handles the thermal workload that a 997 on circuit genuinely produces.

Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone, premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver), and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange).

Fitment for the Porsche 997 C2 (2005-2011)

This kit is specified for the Porsche 997 Carrera 2 (130) manufactured between 2005 and 2011, covering both the 997.1 and 997.2 generations of the rear-wheel-drive Carrera. If your car has previously been fitted with a Porsche Sport Chrono brake package, a PCCB ceramic option, or any non-standard front caliper, confirm the disc dimensions and mounting specification match before ordering.
