Fits Mazda 3 (NON 2.3 MPS) (2005-2010)

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 — Mazda 3 (NON 2.3 MPS) (2005-2010) — 330 mm
330 mm

The standard front brakes on the BK-series Mazda 3 were calibrated for everyday family use, a specification that holds up fine until you start using what the 2.0-litre’s willingness to rev and the composed front end actually allow. Without the turbocharged mass of the MPS, the 1.6 and 2.0-litre cars are genuinely light on their feet on a demanding road, and that agility quickly puts you into territory where the stock single-piston sliders begin to show their limits.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit is built for BK Mazda 3 owners who have pushed past what the original hardware can reliably manage. You receive a pair of front calipers and a pair of front discs, configured above this copy when you order, with three pad compounds to match the kit to how the car actually gets used, from a spirited daily driver to a club-night track car.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2010 Mazda 3

Stepping up to a big brake kit on the BK platform moves the thermal load well beyond the window the factory setup was designed to handle. Two-piece floating discs trim unsprung and rotating mass at the front, keeping the MacPherson-strut front end’s response as sharp as the standard chassis allows, a meaningful consideration on a car where front-axle feel is already one of its better characteristics. The hollow-vane disc draws heat off the friction face faster than a solid item, holding back the fade these naturally aspirated cars meet when braking zones come in quick succession. Braided lines firm the pedal by removing rubber-hose expansion. Racing compound changes how the car behaves under trail-braking in a way the standard calipers cannot replicate, Sport lifts bite without demanding the cold-operating discipline of a race pad, and Street is the quiet, low-dust everyday default.

About the Hollow Brake Kit

The kit is built around front discs with a hollow-vane construction that reduces mass at the wheel without sacrificing swept area, improving heat dispersal during sustained braking. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, light yet stiff, and for harder use the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The three compounds give genuine flexibility: Street suits the road with progressive cold-bite, Sport sharpens response while staying liveable across temperatures, and Racing is for drivers willing to accept a cold-operating trade-off in exchange for sustained performance under hard use.

Discs can be drilled or slotted at the same price, with centre bells available two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium. Included caliper colours, at no extra cost, are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver finishes and a candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, and Candy Orange.

Fitment for the Mazda 3 NON 2.3 MPS (2005-2010)

This kit covers the BK-platform Mazda 3 across all non-MPS trims from 2005 through 2010. It is explicitly not the fitment for the 2.3 MPS Mazdaspeed variant, which left the factory with a larger brake package and different front hardware. Within the non-MPS range, the 1.4, 1.6, and 2.0-litre, trim level does not affect fitment compatibility.

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.
