Caliper render for this kit:
The 2015-2019 Escalade is a 6.2-litre V8 luxury truck that tips the scales at the better part of three tonnes, figures that put the factory front braking package under genuine pressure whenever the vehicle is pressed hard, loaded, or towing. The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that gap with two-piece floating discs designed to manage the thermal loads that come with repeated heavy stops on a platform this size.
Three pad compound options, Street, Sport and Racing, let the buyer configure the kit against an actual driving pattern. A working Escalade that tows regularly has different compound requirements to a daily driver sharpened for road use, which differs again from a truck built for a standing-mile event where heat soak under repeated hard runs is the dominant concern.
What this brake kit does for your 2015-2019 Cadillac Escalade
Brake fade on the Escalade is a genuine failure mode, not an edge case. It surfaces after sustained downhill braking with a trailer attached, or after repeated hard stops in summer traffic when the factory discs have saturated. Two-piece floating front discs reduce rotating and unsprung mass per corner while extracting heat more efficiently than the stock cast items, keeping the pad compound within its working range for longer under load, and the floating mount lets the disc expand under heat without warping. Braided stainless lines keep the pedal firm where heat would otherwise swell a rubber line. Compound selection alters initial bite and fade resistance without touching the rest of the braking system: Street for quiet, low-dust everyday running, Sport for sharper bite and more heat range, Racing for sustained high-load work. At the wheel diameters the Escalade runs from factory, calipers sit in plain view through the spokes; the no-cost painted finishes of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black mean the install reads deliberate rather than incidental.
About the Hollow brake kit
XYZ Racing’s kit is built around vented two-piece floating disc construction that targets weight removal and thermal throughput alongside raw stopping performance. On a platform where unsprung mass and heat management carry as much significance as friction area, the disc design does more work than a straight dimensional swap for standard-vented stock discs, and the floating mount removes the thermal distortion that ruins pedal feel under load. Pad compound selection covers three distinct profiles: Street for owners stepping up from worn factory hardware without changing their driving style, Sport for sharper cold-bite and improved progression on normal road use, and Racing for high-load scenarios where consistent friction under sustained thermal input is the priority. The calipers are hollow-body as standard for low corner weight, with the Hollow Racing caliper available as an upgrade for serious track use, no dust cover, rated to 1000C and a two-year warranty. Disc faces are drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper finish runs from the no-cost painted colours through Custom Color, any Pantone for a set fee, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) options. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, are selectable at checkout.
Fitment for the Cadillac Escalade (2015-2019)
This front brake kit is specified for the fifth-generation Cadillac Escalade on the GMT K2XX body-on-frame platform, covering model years 2015 to 2019. The front-axle pair targets the axle that absorbs the majority of braking load under hard stops at this vehicle’s weight. Confirm your exact trim and axle configuration against the listed application 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.
