Fits Mercedes Benz C CLASS W205 (2015-2021)

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.

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 — Mercedes Benz C CLASS W205 (2015-2021) — 356 mm
356 mm

The W205 C-Class was the first generation to put Mercedes’ twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 into a C-segment bodyshell, and the C63 AMG S that emerged produced 510bhp in a car weighing just over 1,700kg, arriving at front-axle braking loads the OEM caliper specification was never tuned to sustain under circuit conditions. Further down the range, the C200 and C220d still carry north of 1,500kg on a platform whose suspension and braking hardware were calibrated around ride quality first, leaving limited headroom for sustained fast-road or track use.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces that front circuit with a matched pair of left and right calipers and two-piece floating discs built around a hollow-vane internal structure designed to shed thermal energy faster than a conventional ventilated disc. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let owners configure the system around actual use rather than accepting a single factory compromise.

What this brake kit does for your 2015-2021 Mercedes Benz C CLASS W205

Hollow-vane disc construction moves heat away from the pad contact face more aggressively than a standard disc, which keeps bite consistent under repeated heavy stops, the condition where the W205’s kerb weight and AMG power outputs do the most damage to braking confidence. On the non-AMG variants the gain is equally meaningful: the C220d and C300 are not light cars, and their OEM front brakes reflect a comfort-focused brief rather than a thermal one. Reduced rotating and unsprung mass quickens response, and the two-piece floating disc controls expansion. Three compounds let owners avoid the failure modes of both a road pad that glazes under track heat and a race compound that needs temperature before it grips reliably: Street is the quiet, low-dust default, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road, and Racing is the dedicated circuit option. Braided lines keep the pedal firm.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit is built around a hollow-vane disc where enlarged internal chambers replace the narrower vane geometry of a conventional ventilated rotor. The greater internal volume accelerates thermal cycling of the disc face under sustained braking, reducing peak operating temperatures and extending pad compound service life, and the caliper is hollow-bodied as standard. Three compounds are offered: Street covers light-use road driving, Sport suits enthused fast-road and occasional track exposure, and Racing is calibrated for drivers using the W205 on circuit regularly where heat build-up across sessions is the primary enemy of consistent pedal feel. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and an optional Hollow Racing caliper upgrade for serious track work drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.

Caliper finish is selectable when you order. Five painted colours are included at no extra cost: Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black. A Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, plus candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, are selectable at checkout to sit visibly behind open-spoke alloys as an intentional part of the car’s specification.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz C CLASS W205 (2015-2021)

This front brake kit is confirmed for the Mercedes Benz C Class in W205 specification, covering the 2015 to 2021 model years across the production run. The W205 generation spans a wide powertrain range from entry-level turbocharged four-cylinders through the C43 AMG and C63 AMG variants; if your car has undergone any previous brake modifications that may have altered hub or caliper mounting dimensions, verify fitment compatibility for your specific configuration before ordering.

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.
