Caliper render for this kit:
The Ghibli M157’s factory six-piston front setup is already a serious piece of engineering, because Maserati did not under-spec the brakes on a car built around a twin-turbo V6 and real driver ambition. What the standard cast rotors struggle with is sustained thermal input: an extended Alpine descent, a hard run on an open road, or a track evening where a near-two-tonne saloon is hauled down from high speed lap after lap. This XYZ Racing front big brake kit fits around the existing six-pot caliper geometry and replaces the discs with a hollow-vaned design built for harder, longer use.
You receive a pair of front calipers and a pair of front discs. Pad compound, disc style, and caliper finish are all chosen above this copy when you order, so one kit serves the car’s full spectrum of use.
What this brake kit does for your 2013-2026 Maserati GHIBLI
Two-piece floating discs reduce rotating mass at the front axle. On the M157’s front-engined layout, where the twin-turbo unit sits ahead of the driver, that reduction feeds back into steering response and turn-in feel. Improved heat dispersal through the hollow vanes delays the onset of fade under repeated hard-braking cycles, the kind of demand an open-road mountain push or a concentrated circuit session creates. Braided lines firm the pedal by removing the spongy expansion of rubber hoses, so effort reaches the caliper directly.
The compounds run Street, Sport, and Racing. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for road use. Sport widens the heat range and adds bite for fast-road work and occasional track days. Racing is the full circuit compound, and switching to it moves the fade threshold without touching the caliper.
About the Hollow Front Big Brake Kit
The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, built around the M157’s existing six-piston bracket dimensions so installation needs no modification to the factory carriers. For circuit-focused owners, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The φ- designation refers to the rotor diameter specification optimised to work within the factory six-pot geometry.
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 two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium, selectable at checkout.
Fitment for the Maserati GHIBLI (M157) OE 6POT φ- (2013-2026)
This kit covers the Maserati Ghibli M157 from 2013 through 2026 and is specific to variants fitted with the factory six-piston front arrangement. Confirm your front caliper specification matches the OE 6POT designation before ordering, as caliper specification can vary across trim levels within the M157 range.

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.
