XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Porsche CAYENNE (E2) (2011-2018)

The 958 Cayenne’s kerb weight, starting at around 2,155 kg for the base V6 and climbing past 2,295 kg in Turbo trim, creates a braking challenge categorically different from a sports car’s. Under repeated hard stops on a long descent or across a circuit’s braking zones, the factory setup on a Cayenne of this generation has sufficient initial bite; what it runs into is the heat accumulation that two-plus tonnes in motion generates on every application.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit targets that thermal problem directly for the 2011-2018 Cayenne. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, allow the kit to be built for anything from daily driving to committed track use, with a caliper colour range that suits buyers who want the upgrade to show behind the 958’s characteristically large alloy spokes. It fits the front axle as a matched left and right pair with two-piece floating discs.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2018 Porsche CAYENNE (E2)

The hollow-vane disc is the defining feature. The vaned internal structure accelerates heat dissipation from the friction surface, raising the fade threshold at precisely the point where a heavy SUV sustains the highest thermal load, not the first braking event but the fourth or fifth at pace on a demanding road or a morning of circuit laps. Front-axle fitment addresses the end of the 958 platform that carries the greatest share of the Cayenne’s braking force as weight transfers forward under hard stops. The three compounds separate clearly by use case: Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for improved road composure, Sport handles drivers who push on open roads and occasional track sessions, and Racing suits those subjecting the Cayenne to sustained high-temperature cycling across full track days. Two-piece floating disc construction lets the friction ring expand and cool independently of the bell.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

This XYZ Racing kit uses vaned hollow-section discs to prioritise thermal management, the dominant performance consideration for a performance SUV that regularly carries two tonnes at pace. Street, Sport, and Racing compounds are specified at order, each suited to a distinct temperature range and friction characteristic. 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), a meaningful choice on the 958-platform Cayenne where wide alloys give a clear sight line to the caliper behind the spokes. This is a front-axle kit, targeting the position that absorbs the greatest braking load on the E2 Cayenne.

Fitment for the Porsche CAYENNE (E2) (2011-2018)

This kit covers the Porsche Cayenne E2, the 958 platform, across the 2011 to 2018 model years, spanning the V6, V8 S, GTS, Turbo, and Turbo S petrol variants as well as diesel models produced in this period. Confirm your front hub specification and PCD before completing a build, to ensure the caliper and disc combination aligns with your wheel setup.
