XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 240 (2003-2009)

Across the W211 E-Class range, the E 240 occupied the measured end of the spectrum, a 2.6-litre V6 saloon built for continent-covering composure, with a front brake package calibrated to that purpose rather than for repeated hard stops from speed. The factory setup does exactly what Mercedes intended. What it was not designed for is a track day, a demanding Alpine road, or any session where the car’s mass is scrubbed down hard, repeatedly, without a cooling period between corners.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 240 addresses that directly. It fits the front axle as a matched pair of discs and calipers, with three pad compounds so the system can be configured to the car’s actual use, and a wide range of caliper finishes so the upgrade is visible in the right way once fitted.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2009 Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 240

The W211 is a substantial saloon, and the front axle bears the larger share of the braking load under hard deceleration, standard physics amplified by the platform’s kerb weight. The kit’s larger discs and upgraded calipers increase the thermal capacity available to handle that energy, so fade arrives later and pedal feel stays firm across a sequence of rapid stops rather than softening progressively. The two-piece floating discs use a hollow-vane design that pulls heat away from the friction surface, while reduced rotating mass at the front sharpens response.

The Sport compound improves bite and fade resistance over the Street option without needing heat in the discs before it works; the Racing compound is there for circuit sessions where temperatures reach the range at which its full capability becomes relevant; Street remains the quiet, low-dust choice for road use. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper finishes run from Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost through to a custom Pantone match and premium polished-forged or candy options, all visible through the wheels and matched to the car’s broader specification.

About the brake kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, holding clamping force high while keeping weight down at the wheel. For circuit-focused builds, the optional Hollow Racing caliper removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. Braided lines firm up the pedal, and the two-piece floating disc construction lets the friction ring expand independently of the bell to resist warping under heat. Pad compound choice defines the operating range: Street for day-to-day road work, Sport for drivers who want consistent performance without managing disc temperatures, Racing for sustained track use. Centre bell upgrades, two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium, are selectable at checkout. The front-only scope reflects where brake investment delivers the clearest return on a front-heavy executive saloon.
