Caliper render for this kit:

The W211 E 63 AMG arrives at any speed reduction carrying over 1,770 kg and whatever momentum a naturally aspirated 6.2-litre M156 V8, good for around 500 bhp, has built. Mercedes-AMG’s factory front brakes are substantial, but they were configured for road use, not the sustained high-temperature cycles that a track day or a committed fast-road session produces.
With W211 E 63 AMG values having settled into enthusiast territory, these saloons are appearing on circuit days with increasing regularity, and the front brakes are almost always the first system to show their limits. The XYZ Racing front brake kit steps the forward axle up to match what the M156 can actually build and sustain, fitting as a pair of discs and calipers.
What this brake kit does for your 2003-2009 Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 63 AMG
The W211’s front axle bears the majority of stopping load regardless of driving style, and that load intensifies with the M156’s available performance. A larger swept disc area keeps pad-face temperatures distributed more evenly during repeated hard applications, directly delaying the onset of fade. The two-piece floating discs use a hollow-vane design that dissipates heat from the disc core outward rather than letting it accumulate at the friction surface, the mechanism behind the improved sustained performance over a standard solid unit, and they reduce rotating mass at the corner.
Three pad compounds let you set the system’s output to match the car’s current role: Street for quiet, low-dust daily feel, Sport for spirited road use, Racing for circuit sessions where temperatures exceed what a road compound handles reliably. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone match and premium polished-forged or candy finishes, make the upgrade as visible or discreet as the rest of the car’s presentation demands.
About the front big brake kit
The two-piece floating disc design increases the disc’s internal surface area for heat dissipation relative to a solid unit, without adding mass to the unsprung assembly, and lets the friction ring float relative to the bell to resist warping. On a platform as heavy as the W211, containing unsprung mass at the wheel has measurable benefit in ride compliance and steering feel alongside the primary stopping improvement. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing caliper, no dust cover, rated to 1000C, two-year warranty, for extended lap sessions. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, span daily-driver restoration to sustained circuit use, while braided lines firm the pedal and centre bell upgrades in five anodized colours or titanium are selectable at checkout. Calipers cover the full range from factory-discreet to deliberately prominent.

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.
