Caliper render for this kit:
The E3 Cayenne’s platform carries more mass than almost any other performance-oriented vehicle sold in the UK; even in base V6 form it exceeds 2,000 kg, with Turbo and hybrid variants pushing well past that. Slowing that weight repeatedly, whether through a sequence of fast corners or during a full circuit session, places a heat load on the front brakes that exceeds anything the factory hardware was designed to absorb without fade.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Porsche Cayenne E3 (2018-2023) is built for exactly that operating condition. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, let the buyer specify the kit at the point of purchase rather than settle for a single compromise specification that serves none of the use cases particularly well. It fits the front axle as a matched left and right pair with two-piece floating discs.
What this brake kit does for your 2018-2023 Porsche CAYENNE (E3)
Under repeated hard braking, the Cayenne E3’s considerable kerb weight generates more kinetic energy per stop than most performance cars will ever encounter on a public road. The upgraded front kit raises the onset of fade at the axle carrying the heaviest load, which translates directly into pedal consistency across back-to-back stops, the progressive, linear feel that disappears first when standard hardware reaches its thermal limit. Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for everyday driving; Sport strikes a balance between driveability and elevated fade resistance in harder driving; Racing extends that ceiling further, covering circuit use without a separate parts purchase. The hollow-vane disc and two-piece floating construction let the friction ring expand and cool independently of the bell.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The Hollow series is a front-axle brake upgrade oriented toward high-mass performance vehicles, where the combination of weight and power demands more from the front corner than standard equipment consistently delivers. Three compounds are built into the product: Street for regular road use, Sport for drivers who want meaningful fade resistance in spirited conditions without moving to a fully race-rated setup, and Racing for sustained high-performance circuit use. 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), so the hardware can complement or contrast the Cayenne’s exterior where it can be appreciated. The front-only focus keeps the upgrade targeted at the braking corner where thermal and mechanical load is greatest on a vehicle of this weight.
Fitment for the Porsche CAYENNE (E3) (2018-2023)
This kit covers the Porsche Cayenne E3 generation from 2018 to 2023. The E3, chassis code 9YA, built on the MLB Evo platform shared with the Audi Q8 and Bentley Bentayga, encompasses base V6, S, Turbo, Coupé, and hybrid variants across the run; confirm your specific model and build date at the point of order to ensure correct fitment.

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.
