Fits Mazda TRIBUTE (2001-2011)

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 TRIBUTE (2001-2011) — 380 mm
380 mm

The Tribute’s compact SUV proportions and front-biased weight distribution ask a great deal of the standard front brakes. Built on the CD2 platform shared with the Ford Escape, the Tribute carries its engine mass directly over the front axle, which means that under a hard stop, or during a loaded descent, the front brakes are absorbing the bulk of the vehicle’s kinetic energy. Factory-specification equipment handles normal use, but the Tribute’s relatively high centre of gravity accelerates weight transfer onto the front wheels under braking, and the gap between what the standard setup can manage and what drivers actually demand narrows quickly in demanding conditions.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit addresses that directly, replacing the original front setup with a matched pair of forged front calipers and two-piece floating discs, a choice of three pad compounds, and a range of painted caliper finishes.

What this brake kit does for your 2001-2011 Mazda Tribute

Two-piece floating discs reduce rotating mass at the front corners while drawing heat away from the disc face during sustained use, both factors that matter more on an SUV platform than on a lower car, where weight transfer under braking is already pronounced and brake temperatures can climb faster than drivers expect on a winding descent with a full load. The floating ring expands on its alloy bell as it heats, holding the disc flat, while braided lines firm the pedal. The three-compound pad system, Street, Sport, and Racing, means the kit works as a daily-driving improvement or a harder-use upgrade depending on spec: Street is the quiet, low-dust default, Sport adds bite and heat range, and Racing is the full track compound. Painted caliper finishes, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, give the Tribute’s front corners a visual lift alongside the functional one, with discs available drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, which sheds weight from the unsprung mass of each front corner without compromising rigidity, a direct response to the demands of stopping a loaded crossover from higher-speed entries. For harder use there is an optional Hollow Racing upgrade, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating, and a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating discs provide channels for heat dissipation and let the friction ring grow independently of the bell under repeated hard stops. Three pad compounds cover the full spectrum of Tribute use: Street for drivers prioritising comfort and longevity, Sport for a sharper pedal on faster roads, and Racing for those making the most of the platform on track or in competitive contexts. The no-cost caliper range, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black, means the installation reads as deliberate rather than incidental, and a custom Pantone match 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 bells can be specified two-tone or titanium.

Fitment for the Mazda Tribute (2001-2011)

This front brake kit spans the complete Mazda Tribute production run from 2001 through to 2011, covering both first- and second-generation models at the front axle. The kit is specific to the front position; a separate rear brake kit is available if a matched-axle installation is intended.

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.
