Fits Aston Martin DB9 (OE 4POT CALIPER) (2004-2016)

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 — Aston Martin DB9 (OE 4POT CALIPER) (2004-2016) — 400 mm
400 mm

The DB9 carries its V12, a 6.0-litre unit making 450bhp at launch and 510bhp in the final GT variants, at the front of a grand tourer that sits around 1,700kg at the kerb. That combination sets the baseline for any brake upgrade: the system has to manage significant kinetic energy repeatedly, not just once.

This XYZ Racing front brake kit is built around larger hollow-vane discs that move heat out of the rotor faster than the factory setup. The DB9’s standard OE four-piston caliper is retained, so the pedal character stays familiar while the disc gains the thermal headroom the car needs on a committed drive.

What this brake kit does for your 2004-2016 Aston Martin DB9

Larger discs add swept area and thermal mass, and the hollow-vane geometry draws cooling air through the rotor body to accelerate heat extraction under the sustained loads that accumulate on back-road runs through hills, or when a DB9 owner decides a track day is overdue. Two-piece floating discs let the rotor expand with heat without warping against the bell, so what changes is the rotor’s ability to stay within working temperature across a full session rather than the feel of the pedal.

Three pad compounds set the profile. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for road miles. Sport adds bite and raises the thermal threshold for fast-road use and the occasional track day. Racing resets the envelope entirely for circuit work, relevant for anyone who has seen what a DB9 on track does to its brakes after six or eight corners of committed braking. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and caliper colour carries real visual weight on a car where the calipers are clearly visible through each alloy.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The disc uses hollow internal pillars that let air circulate through the rotor body as the wheel turns, giving a larger effective cooling surface than conventional ventilated discs. The kit is direct-fit to the DB9’s OE four-piston caliper, so no bracket adaptation or new caliper hardware is needed: the rotor and pads change. For sustained circuit sessions, owners running a separate big brake conversion can move to a Racing compound, and braided lines firm the pedal further.

Caliper finish, where you do change the caliper as part of a wider build, runs to painted Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost, a Custom Color in any Pantone shade for £150, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange. Centre bells can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium. Everything is selectable above when you order.

Fitment for the Aston Martin DB9 (OE 4POT Caliper) (2004-2016)

This front brake kit covers the Aston Martin DB9 from the 2004 model year through to the end of production in 2016, across both Coupe and Volante body styles, supplied as a matched front-axle pair. The fitment is specified for DB9 variants running the OE four-piston caliper. Owners who have fitted aftermarket calipers should confirm compatibility before ordering.

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.
