Caliper render for this kit:

The XE20 IS 350’s 2GR V6 has a character that conflicts with its standard front brake specification. It builds power smoothly past the point where most drivers would normally lift, which means committed driving in this car routinely produces braking events that exceed what Lexus originally calibrated the front calipers for. On track the deficit shows inside a single session; on a long B-road descent it arrives earlier than most IS 350 owners expect.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Lexus IS 350 (XE20) addresses the limiting factor directly. It is a front-axle upgrade: a matched left-and-right pair of calipers, two-piece floating discs with a hollow-vane friction ring, and braided lines. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, cover everything from a refreshed daily driver to a committed circuit car, while the painted caliper colours leave the visual brief with the builder.
What this brake kit does for your 2006-2012 Lexus IS 350 (XE20)
Upgrading the front axle raises the temperature threshold at which brake performance starts to degrade, the primary demand for any IS 350 owner who pushes the car. The hollow-vane disc moves heat off the friction face and trims rotating mass at the front hubs, with knock-on benefits for steering response and the fidelity with which the XE20’s front suspension tracks the road under braking load. The Racing compound maintains pedal feel through successive hard stops in a way the standard Lexus setup cannot sustain; the Sport compound lifts the ceiling for fast-road use without demanding a warm-up lap before the first corner; Street stays quiet and low-dust for daily running. Painted caliper colours run Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost.
About the front big brake kit
XYZ Racing’s front big brake kit is built for IS 350 owners who have run up against the ceiling of the standard Lexus braking specification. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard; serious track users can step up to the Hollow Racing caliper, which drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating disc means less rotating mass at the hub, faster thermal response and a more direct transfer of pedal pressure to retardation force. Three compounds give the kit its range: Street is a quiet step up from OEM that needs no warm-up routine; Sport extends the operating window for mixed road and circuit use; Racing is calibrated for sustained track conditions where fade resistance across a full session is what counts. 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 at checkout. Beyond the five included colours, any Pantone is available as a Custom Color for £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange.
Fitment for the Lexus IS 350 (XE20) (2006-2012)
This kit covers the XE20 IS 350 across the full 2006-2012 production run, the second-generation IS in 350 specification before the XE30 platform replaced it. Fitment is to the front axle only, as a left-and-right pair. Owners of other XE20 variants such as the IS 250 should confirm compatibility separately, as caliper mounting dimensions are not uniform across the generation.

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.
