Caliper render for this kit:
The C118 generation moved the CLA onto Mercedes-Benz’s MFA2 platform, with a wider track, revised front suspension geometry, and enough performance across the AMG 35 and AMG 45 variants to expose where the factory braking specification runs short. The transverse engine sits well forward of the front axle, and the 4MATIC variants add driveline mass aft without meaningfully redistributing that nose-heavy bias. Under sustained hard braking the standard discs reach their thermal limit before the available deceleration runs out.
The XYZ Racing front brake kit for the 2019-2026 Mercedes Benz CLA (Including 4 Matic) C118 extends that limit. It is a front-axle kit: a pair of larger calipers and discs for the leading wheels, where the C118 does the bulk of its stopping. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, cover daily driving through to sustained track use, and you confirm compound and caliper colour when you order from the options above.
What this brake kit does for your 2019-2026 Mercedes Benz CLA (INCLUDING 4 MATIC) C118
The hollow-vane disc construction draws heat away from the swept face during repeated hard braking by letting air move through the rotor body itself. On the C118’s front-weighted layout this translates directly into more consistent pedal feel through a corner sequence and a higher threshold before fade sets in. The 4MATIC variants load the front circuit harder under deceleration, because the AWD coupling routes torque rearward under power while the front brakes remain the primary deceleration point, and the vented rotor handles that sustained load more effectively than a solid disc.
The lighter two-piece floating disc also trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners, sharpening turn-in. Choose Street for a quiet, low-dust road default, Sport for fast road with occasional circuit outings, or Racing for sustained high-load braking at track temperatures. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price.
About the XYZ Racing front brake kit
The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, matched to two-piece floating discs that expand freely under heat without distorting, and to braided lines that hold a firm pedal under pressure. The kit covers both front-wheel drive and 4MATIC AWD C118 derivatives from 2019 through to 2026.
Caliper colour is set when you order. The included finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, while Custom Color matches any Pantone for an additional 150 pounds. Premium polished-forged finishes are offered in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and the candy range covers Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be upgraded to two-tone in five anodized colours, or to titanium. For owners taking the CLA onto circuit, the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.
Fitment for the Mercedes Benz CLA (INCLUDING 4 MATIC) C118 (2019-2026)
This kit is confirmed fitment for the Mercedes Benz CLA C118 chassis across the full 2019-2026 production span, covering both front-wheel drive and 4MATIC AWD variants. The C118 is the second-generation CLA. Confirm your chassis code before ordering, as the preceding C117 (2013-2019) carries a different front brake specification. This kit addresses the front axle only; the rear remains standard.

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.
