Fits Maserati GHIBLI (M157) OE 4POT φ- (2013-2017)

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.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Maserati GHIBLI (M157) OE 4POT φ- (2013-2017) — 400 mm
400 mm

The M157 Ghibli’s twin-turbo V6, developed inside Ferrari’s engine architecture and carrying genuine pace for a saloon in this class, delivers more than the standard four-piston front caliper setup was specced to handle under sustained hard use. Maserati tuned the factory brakes for a grand tourer at home on motorway miles and rapid cross-country work, not repeated track-day braking zones.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit fits the M157’s existing four-piston front geometry with no line changes, no ABS recalibration, and no hydraulic modification. You receive a pair of front calipers and a pair of front discs, and you configure the kit, three pad compounds, disc style, and caliper finish, above this copy when you order.

What this front brake kit does for your 2013-2017 Maserati GHIBLI

Hollow-vane rotor construction expands the surface area available to shed heat, addressing the fade factory discs exhibit under sustained load on a car weighing close to 1,800 kg. On the more powerful Ghibli S, the benefit is most pronounced under repeated heavy stops, where standard rotor mass cannot dump heat fast enough to hold consistent pedal feel. Two-piece floating discs cut rotating and unsprung mass at the front, and braided lines firm the pedal by eliminating the expansion of rubber hoses under pressure.

The pad ladder runs Street, Sport, and Racing. Street is the quiet, low-dust road compound. Sport adds bite and a higher heat range for committed fast-road driving with the occasional circuit session. Racing is the dedicated track compound, opening the car to circuit use without a full system overhaul.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s hollow-body caliper is the standard here, a forged design that keeps mass low while staying stiff enough to clamp without flex, so the upgrade preserves the hydraulic balance Maserati set from the factory. For serious circuit work the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.

Included caliper colours, at no extra cost, are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, and the candy range runs Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be specified two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium, all selectable at checkout.

Fitment for the Maserati GHIBLI (2013-2017)

This front kit is confirmed for the Maserati Ghibli M157, covering both rear-wheel-drive and Q4 all-wheel-drive variants from 2013 to 2017. The factory four-piston front configuration is consistent across the range, with petrol and diesel options sharing the same front geometry throughout this production run.

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.
