Caliper render for this kit:

The W213 E-Class is a heavy car by any measure. The base E220d checks in at over 1,700 kg, and in 4MATIC+ or AMG configuration that figure climbs toward and beyond 1,900 kg. Mercedes calibrates its factory front brakes across a variant range running from the 194 bhp E200 to the 612 bhp E63 S AMG, which means the hardware is a compromise built for refinement and longevity rather than sustained thermal performance. In repeated hard use, motorway overtakes carried through to late braking, or a track day where cooling laps are infrequent, the stock setup shows its limits at the front axle.
The XYZ Racing front brake kit addresses that front-axle deficit directly. Supplied as a pair of discs and calipers, it offers a compound selection running from a quiet Street pad through to a Racing specification that holds consistent bite through repeated heavy stops without the fade the W213’s mass can induce.
What this big brake kit does for your 2017-2026 Mercedes Benz E CLASS W213
Two-piece floating disc construction improves heat management by drawing air through the disc body rather than relying purely on surface area to shed thermal load, a meaningful advantage on a front axle that carries the W213’s forward weight bias hard into every stop. The floating ring expands without warping, and reduced rotating mass sharpens response. The three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, mean the same kit serves a different brief depending on how the car is used, without a hardware swap between seasons. For the AMG and 4MATIC variants that carry the most mass and reach the highest speeds, the Racing compound delivers stopping authority the factory configuration does not sustain under repeated hard use. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper colour, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone match and premium polished-forged or candy finishes, lets the installation complement rather than fight the alloy design.
About the front brake kit
The two-piece floating disc uses internal vane geometry to manage heat at the face, pulling air through the body during use rather than simply radiating it across a solid surface. That construction makes specific sense at the front axle of a car that can exceed 2,000 kg in its heavier AMG and fully loaded estate forms. 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 circuit use where progressive heat soak is a genuine factor. Three pad compounds cover daily urban use through to track sessions, braided lines firm the pedal, and centre bell upgrades in five anodized colours or titanium are selectable at checkout, accommodating the varied wheel designs fitted across the W213 range.
Fitment for the Mercedes Benz E CLASS W213 (2017-2026)
This kit is specified for the Mercedes Benz E CLASS W213 chassis across the full 2017 to 2026 production span. That covers saloon, estate, and coupé body variants sharing the W213 platform, including the standard petrol and diesel engine lines and the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive derivatives. Confirm your specific model variant and existing front caliper specification before ordering; AMG fitment configurations may differ from standard E-Class variants.

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.
