Fits Tesla MODEL S (2012-2020)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Tesla MODEL S (2012-2020) — 380 mm
380 mm

The 2012-2020 Model S is one of the few performance saloons in which you can exhaust the braking system before you exhaust the drivetrain. Over two tonnes of kerb weight, combined with the ability to dispatch 0-60 mph in under three seconds in Ludicrous-spec variants, generates kinetic energy that demands more than stock front calipers were calibrated to handle under sustained hard use. Regenerative braking covers the everyday scrubbing of speed, but it has a ceiling, one that becomes apparent at the end of a long straight when you need all the friction braking the front axle can provide.

The XYZ Racing Front Big Brake Kit for the 2012-2020 Tesla Model S addresses that ceiling directly. It fits as a pair of front calipers and a pair of two-piece front discs, and three pad compounds allow the system to be configured for road-biased use or full circuit work from the same hardware platform, with a choice of caliper finishes to match your build aesthetic from the start.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2020 Tesla Model S

The Model S places its battery pack low and flat, but sheer mass still loads the front axle hard under braking, a dynamic that compounds through a track session as heat builds in the front discs and calipers. The two-piece floating discs increase thermal headroom on that axle, giving the front brakes the capacity to dissipate heat between stops rather than accumulating it corner by corner. The hollow-vane casting drives air through the disc face, and the two-piece construction trims rotating and unsprung mass on a heavy car.

Three pad compounds set the character. Street is the quiet, low-dust default that performs consistently from a cold start, which matters in a car where the friction brakes often see their hardest work before the drivetrain has generated any warmth; Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road and occasional track work; Racing moves the operating window into the range sustained circuit use in a 2,100 kg-plus EV actually produces. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, braided lines firm up the pedal, and the calipers are painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no cost, or in any Pantone as a Custom Color for an added charge.

About the Front Big Brake Kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, stiff for its weight, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for regular circuit use that removes the dust cover and adds a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. As a front-specific kit it concentrates the upgrade where braking forces are heaviest under load, covering the gap between factory-standard hardware and the demands of a car that has outgrown it through weight, power and how it is driven.

All three pad compounds share the same caliper geometry. Beyond the included paints, finish choices extend to premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and a candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be specified two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium, all chosen when you order, giving the installation a considered appearance beneath the wheels rather than a functional afterthought.

Fitment for the Tesla Model S (2012-2020)

This front brake kit is confirmed for the Tesla Model S across the full 2012-2020 production run, fitting the front axle as a left-and-right pair. Specify your caliper colour from the included finishes of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, or a Custom Color in any Pantone, and select your pad compound when you order.

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.
