Fits Mercedes Benz GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC C167 (2019-2026)

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.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
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 GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC C167 (2019-2026) — 380 mm
380 mm

The C167 GLE 53 AMG arrives from the factory with genuine performance credentials, 429bhp from the M256 inline-six, 4MATIC+ torque vectoring, and AMG’s variable air suspension all wrapped in a coupe-SUV body that tips the scales at over two tonnes. What the factory brakes are not optimised for is sustained hard use: the C167’s high centre of gravity generates significant nose-down weight transfer under braking, loading the front pads and discs in a way that compact AMG saloons simply do not.

XYZ Racing’s front brake kit for the Mercedes Benz GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC C167 covers the 2019-2026 production run and is designed to lift the thermal ceiling the stock setup runs into. It fits as a pair of front discs and calipers, with three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, that let you match the configuration to actual use rather than accepting a single specification that splits the difference.

What this brake kit does for your 2019-2026 Mercedes Benz GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC C167

At motorway speeds, a C167 carries substantial kinetic energy into any deceleration event; the mass is simply there, and it has to go somewhere. The kit’s larger swept area increases mechanical braking advantage and adds thermal mass, so repeated hard stops do not accumulate heat at the rate the OEM setup does. Two-piece floating disc construction allows heat to dissipate through the disc face more readily while keeping rotating mass lower than a comparable solid-vented alternative, and the floating ring expands without warping, relevant on a car where AMG’s adaptive air suspension is already working to manage a significant mass in motion. The three compounds exist for a practical reason: Street for quiet, low-dust daily commuting, Sport for drivers who regularly deploy the full performance range on open roads, and Racing for circuit days where sustained deceleration loads would overwhelm a road-grade compound. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the big brake kit

Two-piece floating disc construction is a defining characteristic of the kit: internal vane geometry within the disc reduces mass while preserving the structural integrity and heat-absorption capacity the front axle of a C167 demands under hard use. 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 serious circuit use. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, provide a clear upgrade path as use patterns change rather than locking owners into a single spec. Braided lines firm the pedal, and 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, plus centre bell upgrades in five anodized colours or titanium, are selected at checkout, with the custom path particularly relevant on a car where bespoke AMG colour coding is already common from the factory.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC C167 (2019-2026)

This kit is confirmed for the Mercedes Benz GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC in C167 body, the coupe-roofline GLE-class platform produced from 2019 through 2026. The C167 designation identifies the fastback-roofline variant; verify your chassis code against C167 rather than V167 (the boxier SUV body) before ordering, particularly for earlier build dates when both body styles were in concurrent production.

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.
