Caliper render for this kit:
The KF CX-5 carries more mass than its compact-SUV footprint suggests. The AWD 2.5T sits close to 1,650 kg at the kerb, and the 2.0L FWD is not far behind once loaded with everyday cargo. Mazda’s stock front brake package is calibrated for that weight at legal road speeds; it is not calibrated for the sustained loads of a mountain descent, repeated hard stops on a back-road run, or a morning of circuit driving.
The XYZ Racing front big brake kit fits the 2017-2026 CX-5 KF at the front axle, replacing the standard rotor and caliper with larger hardware and selectable pad compounds. You receive a pair of front calipers and a pair of front discs, configured above this copy when you order. The KF’s i-Activ AWD distributes braking force between axles in normal driving, but nose-down weight transfer under hard stops still concentrates the greatest deceleration load at the front, which is precisely where added swept area and thermal mass make a measurable difference.
What this brake kit does for your 2017-2026 Mazda CX-5 (KF)
Larger front discs bring more thermal mass to the axle carrying the greatest braking load, reducing the fade stock hardware develops under sustained or repeated heavy deceleration. The hollow-vane disc holds heat off the friction face, two-piece floating discs cut rotating and unsprung mass at the front, and braided lines firm the pedal by removing rubber-hose expansion. Pad compound adds a second variable: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for everyday road use, Sport delivers improved bite and fade resistance for spirited driving at the CX-5’s kerb weight, and Racing handles the sustained temperatures of circuit sessions.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
Three compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, address the full range a KF CX-5 sees when pressed past its everyday brief: Street for commuting, Sport for the 2.5T’s fast-road capability, and Racing for owners who take the car to track days alongside or instead of a dedicated circuit car. The Hollow specification brings front-axle hardware beyond what Mazda sized the KF’s stock setup to deliver, covering that expanded use without a compound swap between occasions. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, light yet stiff, and for the hardest use the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.
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 CX-5 (KF) (2017-2026)
This kit is confirmed for the Mazda CX-5 KF generation across all model years from 2017 to 2026. The KF platform spans FWD and i-Activ AWD variants across the 2.0L, 2.5L, and 2.5T engine lines, all sharing the same front hub and brake carrier geometry. If running aftermarket alloys, confirm wheel clearance with your supplier before finalising the order.

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.
