XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Porsche BOXSTER 718 (2017-2026)

The 718 Boxster’s mid-mounted flat-four doesn’t just shape the car’s character, it shapes where the braking loads go. With the engine sitting aft of the cabin and the front axle carrying roughly 44 per cent of the static weight, the front brakes shoulder considerable work each time you trail-brake into a corner. On public roads that loading is unremarkable; across a morning’s circuit session at Oulton Park or Snetterton, it is exactly where OE-spec equipment begins to show its limits.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit is built for the 2017-2026 Porsche BOXSTER 718, the 982-generation roadster that arrived with turbocharged flat-fours and a noticeably sharper chassis than the 981 it replaced. Hollow-vane discs paired with a choice of pad compounds turn the front axle into something that handles repeated hard stops without the progressive pedal softness that compromises an otherwise clean lap. The kit fits the front axle as a matched left and right pair with two-piece floating discs.

What this brake kit does for your 2017-2026 Porsche BOXSTER 718

The hollow-vane disc accelerates heat evacuation at the front axle, where sustained braking generates the greatest thermal load during circuit use. Lower running temperatures mean the compounds maintain consistent bite through longer stints, something the 718’s naturally communicative steering rewards immediately, because you feel the difference in front-end confidence at corner entry. Three compounds, Street, Sport, and Racing, let you match the kit to how the car is used: Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for a 718 that stays on public roads, Sport for frequent spirited driving, Racing for those using the car as it was evidently intended. Two-piece floating disc construction lets the friction ring expand and cool independently of the bell.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

This XYZ Racing kit centres on a disc that uses hollow internal vanes in place of the solid pillars found in a conventional vented rotor. That geometry increases the effective surface area in contact with airflow through the disc body, allowing heat from repeated hard stops to dissipate before it accumulates to the point of compound degradation or pedal fade. Street is the low-dust everyday compound; Sport offers firmer, more consistent response across a broader temperature range; Racing is the track compound for circuit conditions where sustained high-load braking is routine. The forged caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price.

Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone, premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver), and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange), all clearly visible behind the 718’s open-spoke alloy designs.
