Fits Porsche CAYMAN S 987 (2005-2012)

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.

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 — Porsche CAYMAN S 987 (2005-2012) — 356 mm
356 mm

The 987 Cayman S arrived as something of an accidental circuit weapon. The mid-mounted flat-six and near-50:50 weight distribution gave it dynamics that made many faster, heavier machines look clumsy. What the factory didn’t fully provision was front braking capacity for sustained track use. The standard discs handle road work capably, but fade resistance becomes the limiting factor once sessions extend past the first few hot laps.

The XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that gap. It upgrades the front axle to a matched pair of larger, more thermally capable calipers and two-piece floating discs, with braided lines included, bringing front-axle stopping performance in line with what the 987’s chassis is genuinely capable of at the circuit.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2012 Porsche Cayman S 987

The 987’s mid-engine layout makes trail-braking fundamental to extracting pace. The car rotates predictably when the front axle loads correctly under braking, and that rotation depends on consistent, fade-free front-end bite. Three pad compounds let you match the stopping character to intended use, from road-biased daily driving through to full circuit sessions. The hollow-vane disc runs cooler under extended load compared with solid units, reducing temperature-related fade mid-session, while the two-piece floating disc keeps the friction ring true under heat. Braided lines hold the pedal firm where rubber would balloon.

Street is the quiet, low-dust compound for everyday road use. Sport raises bite and heat tolerance for mixed road and occasional track duty. Racing is the dedicated track compound for drivers focused on circuit days.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The XYZ Racing caliper is a hollow-body design as standard, improving thermal dissipation under sustained braking loads while keeping mass down. For owners doing serious circuit mileage, the optional Hollow Racing upgrade deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.

Three pad compounds cover the full operating range: Street for everyday road use, Sport for mixed road and occasional track, and Racing for circuit days. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available above those, plus premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange). The kit is engineered as a direct-fit upgrade for the 987 Cayman S front axle, requiring no modifications to the front knuckle or carrier.

Fitment for the Porsche Cayman S 987 (2005-2012)

This front brake kit is built for the 987-generation Porsche Cayman S, spanning the full model run from 2005 to 2012. It is engineered to the 987 Cayman S front axle specification as a direct-fit upgrade. Confirm your model year and check you have the Cayman S designation before ordering.

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.
