Caliper render for this kit:

The W202 C-Class earned its reputation honestly: rear-wheel drive, a five-link rear suspension that stayed composed under pressure, and a front axle capable of generating real grip in corners. In C 320 specification the car has the performance envelope to expose the limits of its standard front brakes on a sustained fast-road run or across a track day, where pedal travel lengthens and fade arrives before the chassis has run out of grip.
The XYZ Racing front brake kit addresses that mismatch for the 1993-2000 W202. A matched pair of forged front calipers and two-piece floating discs, three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, and a range of painted caliper colours mean the same kit works across a freshened daily driver and a dedicated circuit car.
What this brake kit does for your 1993-2000 Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 320
Rear-wheel-drive cars concentrate deceleration forces through the front axle at every braking event, and the C 320’s larger engine adds to the nose weight those brakes must manage. The two-piece floating discs draw heat away from the disc face faster than the solid factory discs and let the friction ring expand on its alloy bell without coning, helping maintain pedal consistency over repeated hard stops, while braided lines firm the pedal under load. Three compounds let you match the friction characteristics to your use: Street is the quiet, low-dust default that preserves the refinement expected from a Mercedes road car, Sport raises bite for faster driving, and Racing holds its friction coefficient at the higher temperatures that come with sustained circuit work. Painted caliper finishes, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost, allow you to integrate the upgrade properly into the wider build, 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 reduces rotating and unsprung weight while retaining the rigidity to absorb the C 320’s deceleration loads. For sustained circuit work there is an optional Hollow Racing upgrade, deleting the dust cover, rated to 1000C, with a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating discs increase the surface area exposed to cooling air compared with solid discs and let the friction ring grow independently of its alloy bell, reducing the thermal soak that causes fade under load. Three pad compounds span Street road use, uprated Sport performance, and full Racing application, making it a single-purchase solution for cars that move between environments rather than sitting permanently at one extreme. Caliper colour runs five no-cost choices, 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, giving the installation a finished appearance rather than the mismatched look that comes from mixing factory and aftermarket components. It is a direct front-axle fitment for the W202, with no fabrication or adaptation required.

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.
