Caliper render for this kit:
The N16 Sentra’s stock front brakes were sized for economy motoring, not for the repeated hard stops a track day or a spirited road session demands. Single-piston sliding calipers and modest rotors cope in ordinary traffic, but push the N16 in anger on a circuit, a mountain road, or a long braking zone, and heat builds quickly, pedal feel softens, and the confidence you need from the front axle starts to disappear. This XYZ Racing front brake kit replaces that compromise with hardware proportioned for the job.
The kit fits a matched pair of front discs and calipers. Three pad compounds let the spec follow how the car is actually used, rather than defaulting to a single setup that satisfies neither commuting nor competition. Caliper finishes run from Red, Yellow, and Gold through to Black and Anodized Black, which matters when the front arches are doing visible work.
What this brake kit does for your 2000-2007 Nissan Sentra N16
The N16’s front-wheel-drive layout places significant load through the front axle under hard braking. Trail-braking into a corner shifts weight forward and asks more of the fronts than the rears will ever contribute. More rotor swept area and better heat dissipation address that imbalance directly: stopping distances shorten, and pedal feel stays consistent across repeated braking events rather than growing longer and softer as disc temperatures climb. The hollow-vane disc is central to that thermal story, with internal vanes carrying heat away from the friction surface more effectively than a solid rotor.
The three-compound pad range adds a further dimension of control. Run the Street compound for a quiet, low-dust daily; choose Sport for fast-road driving and the occasional track day where you still want bite on the drive home; or commit to Racing for competition use where maximum deceleration from the first marker is the priority. You select one when you order.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
XYZ Racing’s front brake kit is built around hollow-vane discs, the feature that defines it as more than a conventional disc swap. The internal air channels within the rotor body increase the surface area available for heat dissipation without a proportional rise in rotating weight, which matters on a compact chassis where unsprung mass influences ride quality and tyre contact through a corner. The calipers are hollow-body as standard; for dedicated track use the optional Hollow Racing upgrade removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.
The front-only configuration targets the axle where the N16’s braking performance is principally set, supplying a pair of front calipers and discs across the full 2000 to 2007 N16 run. Caliper finish covers Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color option matching any Pantone for an additional fee and premium polished-forged and candy finishes available. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-piece floating discs, two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells, and braided lines selectable at checkout.
Fitment for the Nissan Sentra N16 (2000-2007)
This kit is confirmed for the Nissan Sentra N16 across the full 2000 to 2007 production span. The N16 ran across several engine and trim variants depending on market; provided your car sits within the N16 chassis generation and year range, this front kit applies. If non-standard wheels are already fitted, verify front caliper bracket clearance before installation.

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.
