Caliper render for this kit:
The Kicks is a light FWD crossover on an economy-oriented platform, and its standard front brake hardware reflects that prioritisation exactly. Single-piston sliding calipers with modest swept area handle urban duty adequately, but sustained load (repeated hard stops, spirited descents, back-road sessions) brings fade onset quickly and the pedal deteriorates as temperatures climb.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that limitation at the front axle where, on a front-wheel-drive car, it matters most. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs, supplied with your choice of Street, Sport, or Racing pad compound and a painted finish in one of five included colours.
What this brake kit does for your 2018-2020 Nissan KICKS
On a front-wheel-drive chassis, the front brakes carry the majority of deceleration load; there is no rear-axle partnership under threshold braking the way there is on AWD or rear-biased platforms. The Kicks’ factory setup is calibrated conservatively, which keeps running costs low but leaves performance headroom on the table the moment the roads stop being flat. The hollow-vane discs draw airflow through the disc body to move heat outward rather than letting it accumulate at the pad interface, directly addressing the fade curve that limits the stock hardware. The two-piece floating construction lets the friction ring expand against the alloy bell without coning, keeping the disc true and trimming rotating and unsprung mass.
Pad choice widens the operating window. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default. Sport raises bite and the temperature ceiling for faster-road conditions. Racing is a true high-temperature compound for circuit and hillclimb use where sustained heavy braking is the norm. Consistent pedal response over repeated applications, shorter stops under high-friction conditions, and that range across the three compounds add up to a system that keeps pace with how the car is actually driven. Calipers come painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone shade available, plus premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange).
About the Hollow Brake Kit
The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, keeping mass down while staying stiff. For serious track use the optional Hollow Racing caliper removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The discs’ hollow-vane geometry lets heat move through the disc structure rather than building in one place, so initial bite stays cleaner and sustained pedal pressure stays linear deeper into a session. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, and braided lines complete the front axle.
Fitment for the Nissan KICKS (2018-2020)
This front brake kit is confirmed for the Nissan KICKS produced between 2018 and 2020. Verify the kit against your build date and variant before ordering. This listing covers the front axle position only; rear brake work requires a separate rear kit.

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.
