XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mazda CX-9 (TB) MK1 (2006-2015)

At over 1,900 kg in standard specification, with the AWD variant sitting heavier still, the TB-generation CX-9 asks considerably more from its front brakes than a compact saloon ever could. The factory caliper and disc package was specified to a road-comfort brief, which means sustained braking duty beyond the everyday, a loaded descent on a fast A-road, repeated heavy stops from motorway speed, a full seven seats on a long drive home, can push the original hardware noticeably towards its thermal limit.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit for the Mazda CX-9 MK1 TB (2006-2015) replaces that factory hardware with a larger swept area and two-piece floating discs built to manage heat more effectively under exactly those demands. It is a front-axle kit: a matched pair of front calipers and discs for the left and right corners.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2015 Mazda CX-9 (TB) MK1

More disc surface running at a lower temperature translates directly to consistent pedal feel, the primary dividend on a crossover of this mass, where the front axle carries the greater share of stopping load in both FWD and AWD configurations. For the FWD variant in particular, where every kilowatt of drive force and every braking event passes through the same axle, the reduction in heat soak is more noticeable still. Three pad compounds are offered: Street, a quiet, low-dust compound for daily road use; Sport, with more bite and a wider heat range for fast road and the occasional track day; and Racing, a full track compound. Painted calipers come at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black, and the discs can be drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, which keeps weight off the rotating and unsprung assembly without compromising rigidity. For serious, sustained track use there is an optional Hollow Racing upgrade, which deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating discs let the friction ring expand under heat independently of the alloy bell, which reduces coning and judder, while the hollow-vane construction draws air between the friction faces to pull heat away from the pad-disc interface during rotation. On a platform the weight of the CX-9, that ventilation is working meaningfully harder than it would on a lighter sports car, and the improvement to sustained performance reflects that. For owners who want the calipers to stand out, custom Pantone matching is available for £150, alongside premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold, and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red, and Orange. Centre-bell upgrades are selectable too: two-tone anodizing in five colours, or titanium.
