Fits Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 INCLUDING AMG (1995-2003)

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 E CLASS W210 INCLUDING AMG (1995-2003) — 330 mm
330 mm

The W210 E55 AMG occupies a specific corner of late-1990s performance saloon history: around 350bhp, rear-wheel drive, and factory front brakes calibrated for a different era of use. Run one today on a track morning or a sustained fast-road session and the standard hardware shows its limits. This is a car that carries genuine V8 mass through corners in a way that repeatedly loads the front axle, and the factory specification was never sized for the distance W210 drivers now push it.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit is designed for Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 INCLUDING AMG (1995-2003) owners who have reached that limit. A pair of larger calipers and discs for the leading axle, available with Street, Sport or Racing pad compounds and a full range of caliper finishes, raises the front axle’s capacity in line with how these cars are actually being used. You set the specification when you order from the options above.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-2003 Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 INCLUDING AMG

The W210 range spans eight years and considerable performance variation, but the front braking challenge is consistent: a heavy, capable platform the standard setup struggles to match under sustained use. The hollow-vane disc ventilates more effectively than the pressed-channel rotors in the factory front setup, as air moves through the rotor body, which translates directly to improved fade resistance once temperatures build. Three pad compounds match the hardware to use, Street for mixed-mileage, low-dust road cars, Sport for drivers pushing harder on fast roads, and Racing for those using the W210 on circuit.

The lighter two-piece floating disc also trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, and the caliper finishes matter here because the AMG alloys frame the caliper prominently from outside the car.

About the XYZ Racing Front Brake Kit

At the core of this kit is a hollow-vane disc geometry that channels airflow through the rotor body rather than through the pressed-vent channels in OE-specification W210 hardware, drawing heat away more consistently during repeated hard stops, a measurable difference on a car used in anger, whether a W210 AMG on track or a standard E-Class on a sustained fast-road run. The disc is two-piece floating, and the caliper is hollow-body forged as standard, fed by braided lines for a firm pedal. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, match the setup to the application.

Across all compound options, included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with Custom Color matching any Pantone for 150 pounds. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and the candy range adds Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium, and the optional Hollow Racing caliper, rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty, suits serious track use.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 INCLUDING AMG (1995-2003)

This front kit covers the full Mercedes Benz W210 E-Class from 1995 through to 2003, including standard and AMG variants across the production window. The kit addresses the front axle only. Owners fitting aftermarket wheels outside the standard W210 alloy specifications should verify caliper clearance before ordering, as wheel aperture varies considerably across the alloy options for this chassis.

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.
