Caliper render for this kit:
North of 1,800kg with the 4WD hardware in place, the Porsche Macan S generates real thermal load at the front axle under repeated hard deceleration, the kind that reveals itself on a sustained mountain descent or on a track day where the chassis is being pushed as it was designed to be. The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that directly: hollow-vane front discs that shed heat faster than the standard fitment, with a compound range that acknowledges the car’s dual life.
This is a front-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs with braided lines included. Three pad compounds are the honest admission that most Macan S owners don’t run one brake spec forever: Sport moves the thermal window upward from factory and adds initial bite, while Racing is there for drivers who put the car on circuit and need consistent performance at elevated rotor temperatures.
What this brake kit does for your 2014-2026 Porsche MACAN S 4WD
The hollow-vane disc adds internal cooling paths that conventional vented rotors don’t have, reducing peak disc temperature during sustained front-axle loading without adding rotating mass at the corners. On a heavy 4WD crossover that front-loads its braking forces, that thermal management shows up as more consistent pedal feel across a hard-braking sequence rather than the creeping firmness loss stock discs exhibit when heat-soaked. The two-piece floating disc keeps the friction ring true as it expands, and braided lines hold the pedal firm where rubber would swell.
Compound selection extends the logic. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default. Sport raises the fade threshold for fast-road use, while Racing shifts the operating window further still for track applications.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The XYZ Racing caliper is a hollow-body design as standard, increasing the surface area available for heat dissipation and giving the disc a faster recovery rate between braking events, particularly useful on a vehicle of the Macan S’s mass where each hard stop transfers more energy into the front rotors than a lighter sports car would. For owners running sustained high-temperature track work, the optional Hollow Racing upgrade deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.
Pad compounds are structured in three tiers: Street for daily and mixed use, Sport for increased bite and improved fade characteristics on fast roads, and Racing for sustained high-temperature use. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) finishes above those. The kit covers the front axle, where the Macan S 4WD places the majority of its braking demand.
Fitment for the Porsche MACAN S 4WD (2014-2026)
This kit fits the Porsche Macan S 4WD across the full production window from 2014 to 2026, covering both the original model and the facelifted continuation. The Macan S ran through incremental specification updates across that span. Confirm your specific build year and original front disc diameter before finalising your order, particularly for early-production cars against later facelifted variants.

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.
