Fits Fiat ABARTH 500 1.4 (2008-2026)

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.

286 mm

The Abarth 500’s factory front brakes were sized for the car Fiat wanted to sell, not the car Abarth wanted to build. The 1.4 T-Jet has enough output to sustain speed where the standard setup struggles to shed it repeatedly, and that gap shows on track days, on mountain roads, or on any session involving more than one hard stop in quick succession. The XYZ Racing front brake kit exists specifically to close that gap.

Front-wheel drive concentrates every deceleration load on the nose. On a car as committed to its character as the Abarth 500, the front brakes are not just stopping components; they are part of how the chassis rotates into a corner. A setup with real thermal headroom returns a consistent pedal under load, which translates into confidence on the approach, not just relief at the end of a straight. This is a single-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and discs.

What this brake kit does for your 2008-2026 Fiat ABARTH 500 1.4

Larger swept area at the front axle gives the braking system more surface to distribute heat across, the primary reason factory setups fade on repeat use. Three pad compounds match friction to the session: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for elevated everyday confidence, Sport holds firm across track mornings and faster road work, and Racing is the track compound for sustained circuit use where the stock Abarth setup would otherwise become the limiting factor. Painted caliper colours come in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for an upcharge and premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver or candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange beyond that, matching or contrasting the car’s factory colour scheme rather than disappearing behind the wheel.

About the Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s front brake kit is the front-axle solution for drivers who have outgrown the factory specification, addressing the overlapping demands of fast-road and circuit use that the Abarth 500’s character invites but its standard stoppers can limit once temperature climbs. The caliper body is hollow-cast as standard, with the Hollow Racing upgrade, no dust cover, a 1000C rating, and a two-year warranty, for the most committed track use. Compound selection spans three grades and a broad thermal range: Street works within the moderate temperatures of road driving, Sport bridges into spirited and occasional track use, and Racing is built for the sustained heat cycles of a proper circuit session. The two-piece floating discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, braided lines firm up the pedal, and two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium are selectable at checkout, so the front-end specification reflects individual preference rather than a catalogue default.

Fitment for the Fiat ABARTH 500 1.4 (2008-2026)

This front brake kit covers the Fiat Abarth 500 1.4 across the full model run from 2008 to 2026, the complete production span of the Type 312-platform Abarth in this engine configuration. It is supplied as a front-axle kit. If your car has been previously fitted with aftermarket braking components or upgraded Abarth parts, confirm your current front specification 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.
