XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Porsche 997 TURBO (142) (2006-2011)

A 1,585 kg AWD platform delivering 480 to 530 bhp generates more thermal energy per braking event than the 997 Turbo’s conservatively rated road steel setup was designed to absorb consistently. The gap is invisible until the car is pushed past that system’s limits, at the entry to a slow corner after a high-speed straight, or during a fast-road run where successive hard stops compound the heat loading, and the pedal starts to feel imprecise rather than resolute.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Porsche 997 Turbo (chassis 142, 2006-2011) is a direct-fit front-axle upgrade that addresses exactly that. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, allow the specification to match how the car is actually being driven. 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 2006-2011 Porsche 997 TURBO (142)

The hollow-vane disc improves heat rejection at the front axle, relevant on a car where Porsche’s Traction Management system actively loads the front wheels during hard acceleration, and where high-speed braking events place sustained thermal demands on the front discs. Improved heat dissipation delays fade onset, keeping pedal feel consistent through successive corners rather than progressively less defined. Three compounds span the range: Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for owners whose 997 Turbo is primarily a fast-road car; Sport covers mixed use including occasional circuits; Racing is for owners who arrive at track events expecting to work the brakes hard, repeatedly. Two-piece floating disc construction lets the friction ring grow and cool independently of the bell.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

Internal disc geometry is where this kit makes its case. Hollow-vane construction configures the disc’s internal architecture to increase airflow through the rotor body during use, pulling accumulated heat away from the friction face faster than a standard vented design permits. That thermal advantage matters during repeated braking sequences where heat builds progressively from one event to the next, a pattern familiar to anyone who has driven a 997 Turbo hard across more than a handful of corners. The kit fits directly to the 997 Turbo’s front hub without additional brackets or spacer stacks. 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. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price.

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) to suit the owner’s build.
