Fits Lexus IS 250 (XE30) (2013-2015)

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.

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 — Lexus IS 250 (XE30) (2013-2015) — 330 mm
330 mm

The XE30 IS 250 arrived as a more substantial car than the generation it replaced: more mass, more refinement, more composure through corners at road speeds. That added weight has to go somewhere under hard braking, and the standard front setup, calibrated for quiet progressive stops rather than sustained thermal load, reaches its limit faster than the chassis suggests it should.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that gap at the front axle of the IS 250. It is a single-axle upgrade: a matched pair of left and right front calipers and two-piece floating discs, supplied with braided lines and ready to bolt to the XE30 hubs. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, cover the range from daily commuting to track days using the same hardware throughout.

What this brake kit does for your 2013-2015 Lexus IS 250 (XE30)

The two-piece floating disc carries a hollow-vane friction ring that draws air through the disc face under braking, managing the heat accumulation that compresses pedal feel and lengthens stopping distances under repeated heavy use. On the IS 250’s front axle, which takes the larger share of braking load from a front-mounted V6 layout, that thermal margin matters more than it would on a lighter car. Moving weight off the rotating assembly sharpens turn-in and steadies the front end under braking. The Sport compound sits between the quiet Street pad and the dedicated Racing pad: more bite and a wider heat range for fast road and the occasional track day, without the noise or warm-up demands of a full track compound. Calipers come painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, so the install reads as deliberate through the IS 250’s alloy spokes.

About the front big brake kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, the baseline for the whole kit rather than an upgrade you pay for. For serious track use you can step up to the Hollow Racing caliper, which drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The pad programme is the operational core: Street is the quiet, low-dust road default; Sport widens the heat range for fast-road and light track work; Racing is the full track compound that holds consistent through a session. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, selectable at checkout. Beyond the five included caliper colours you can specify any Pantone as a Custom Color for £150, or choose a premium polished-forged finish in Titanium, Polished Gold or Polished Silver, or a candy finish in Teal, Blue, Red or Orange.

Fitment for the Lexus IS 250 (XE30) (2013-2015)

This kit is listed for the Lexus IS 250 in XE30 third-generation form, covering model years 2013 to 2015. The XE30 IS 250 ran in rear-wheel-drive specification throughout this period; confirm your build year sits within the 2013-2015 range before you order. It fits the front axle as a pair; a separate rear kit is needed for a full-car upgrade.

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.
