Caliper render for this kit:
Under hard braking, the Gallardo LP560-4’s mid-engine AWD layout concentrates thermal load toward the front axle. Weight transfers forward, the front brakes absorb the bulk of the stopping force, and in a car where the 5.2-litre V10 delivers 552bhp on demand, the speeds from which that stopping force is required are considerable. On the road it rarely becomes a problem; on circuit, where a Gallardo is entirely at home, the factory front brakes find their limits in consistency and pedal feel during sustained use.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit is built to address exactly this on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2008-2013). Three pad compounds let the owner configure the system to how the car is actually driven, rather than accepting a single-compound compromise across very different use cases.
What this brake kit does for your 2008-2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
The two-piece floating disc moves heat away from the friction surface more efficiently than a solid casting manages, which is where the real improvement becomes tangible: the pedal stays consistent when front brake temperatures climb through repeated high-speed stops. The hollow-vane rotor sheds heat through internal airflow, the floating bell keeps it flat as it heats, the lighter rotating assembly trims unsprung mass, and braided lines firm the pedal for the precise modulation the car deserves.
Three compounds suit the realistic spectrum of Gallardo use. Street is the quiet, low-dust default with confident cold bite for road use. Sport adds bite and a wider heat range for spirited driving and occasional circuit outings. Racing extends the performance window considerably further up the temperature scale, relevant when the LP560-4 is braking from the speeds a long circuit straight accumulates. You select the compound when you order.
About the front big brake kit
The kit pairs a hollow-body forged caliper as standard with a two-piece floating disc whose internal vane geometry circulates air through the rotor more freely than a conventional solid casting, accelerating heat dissipation and reducing the thermal saturation that produces fade under pressure. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades come as two-tone anodizing in five colours, or titanium, selectable at checkout.
Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, ideal for precise livery matching. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, with a premium candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. For dedicated circuit sessions, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The kit is designed specifically for the LP560-4’s front axle, working within the existing hub and suspension geometry without structural modification.
Fitment for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2008-2013)
This front brake kit is confirmed for the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, covering the full production run from 2008 to 2013. The LP560-4 designation identifies the four-wheel-drive variant with the 5.2-litre V10, not the LP550-2 rear-wheel-drive specification or the earlier pre-facelift 5.0-litre models. Confirm your model year and drivetrain configuration 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.
