XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 240 (1993-2000)

The W202 generation C-Class was, for its era, a genuinely sorted rear-wheel-drive saloon, and the C 240’s M112 V6 added a torque character that the earlier four-cylinder variants could not replicate. That combination of a well-resolved chassis and 2.4 litres asking questions of the front axle is exactly where standard factory braking starts to show its boundaries: adequate within the design envelope, less convincing when the driving becomes deliberate.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit addresses this directly. A matched pair of forged front calipers and two-piece floating discs deliver more thermal capacity and cleaner pedal feel than the factory W202 fit, the difference registering most clearly on the kind of driving that turns a C 240 from a composed GT into something requiring real braking precision.

What this brake kit does for your 1993-2000 Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 240

Larger swept area at the front axle raises the point at which the system begins to fade, which matters on the W202 C 240 wherever braking is repeated and hard: fast road descents, back-to-back corners, or a track session where the front brakes are carrying load into every apex. The two-piece floating discs draw heat away from the friction surface and let the friction ring expand on its alloy bell without coning, while braided lines firm the pedal under load. Three pad compounds let you order the kit matched to actual use: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for improved daily bite over factory, Sport for spirited road work and occasional circuit outings, and Racing for sustained W202 circuit sessions where thermal management is the priority. Painted caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost, sit behind whatever alloys the car wears, with discs available drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the Hollow brake kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, which keeps rotating and unsprung weight down while retaining the rigidity to absorb the C 240’s deceleration loads. Factory W202 C 240 front hardware was specced for road-going confidence; this kit shifts that threshold by increasing disc diameter, fitting a matched forged caliper, and mounting the friction ring on a two-piece floating disc so it can move under heat without distorting. For sustained track work there is an optional Hollow Racing upgrade, deleting the dust cover, rated to 1000C, with a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds cover the use-case range from daily driving through to track work without requiring a separate purchase when the car’s role changes. Caliper finishes run five no-cost colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black, with a custom Pantone match for £150, 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, acknowledging that low-profile alloys make brake hardware visible and that the visibility should be intentional.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 240 (1993-2000)

This kit covers the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W202 in C 240 specification across the full 1993-2000 production run, including both saloon and estate body configurations. The front-only configuration targets the primary braking axle on the rear-wheel-drive W202 platform. If the vehicle has had previous aftermarket brake modifications, confirm that hub and carrier geometry still corresponds to standard W202 C 240 dimensions before ordering.
