XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Porsche CAYENNE (2002-2010)

The first-generation Cayenne, sold across the 955 (2002-2006) and 957 (2007-2010) generations, was never going to be a lightweight proposition. Depending on specification, these cars sit between 2.1 and 2.4 tonnes at the kerb, with the twin-turbocharged V8 Turbo at the heavier end of that range and all that mass loading hard onto the front axle the moment you ask for a serious stop.

Factory brakes on the standard variants coped well enough for the use cases Porsche intended. But owners of these cars, particularly the Turbo and the S, have always driven them harder than that brief, and this XYZ Racing front big brake kit is built around the braking demands that actual use places on the platform. It fits the front axle as a matched left and right pair with two-piece floating discs.

What this brake kit does for your 2002-2010 Porsche CAYENNE

At 2.4 tonnes, brake fade is less a theoretical risk and more a predictable outcome if you push stock components through repeated high-load decelerations, on a mountain descent, a twisting B-road run, or one of the SUV track days where the Cayenne tends to embarrass lighter cars through the braking zones. The hollow-vane disc carries heat away more efficiently between stops, maintaining pedal firmness where a conventional disc would begin to glaze. Three compounds extend the kit’s range: Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for relaxed road use; Sport covers fast-road driving where temperatures climb but stops are not repeated in quick succession; Racing handles the kind of sustained braking load that would cook a road-spec compound within a session. Two-piece floating disc construction lets the friction ring expand and cool independently of the bell.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s front kit takes its name from the disc construction: internal channels draw cooling air through the disc face under load, reducing the thermal saturation that causes fade and pedal inconsistency in heavy vehicles. That approach is directly relevant to the Cayenne’s kerbweight, where a standard vented disc reaches temperature quickly and holds it. The three compounds are formulated for different operating windows: Racing is for conditions where temperatures build consistently and recovery between stops is short, while Sport delivers the progressive, linear feel that suits fast public-road driving without aggressive warm-up. 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). Front-axle bias in the kit’s design reflects where the physics place the greatest demand on a front-heavy platform like the Cayenne.

Fitment for the Porsche CAYENNE (2002-2010)

This kit covers the complete first-generation Cayenne production run, spanning the 955 platform (2002-2006) and the facelifted 957 (2007-2010). All engine variants within that period, naturally aspirated V6, V8, and the twin-turbo Turbo, fall within the fitment window. If the car has had a previous brake upgrade fitted, verify the front hub and caliper mounting configuration before ordering.
