Fits Renault NEW SM5 (2005-2010)

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 — Renault NEW SM5 (2005-2010) — 330 mm
330 mm

The Renault Samsung SM5’s front-wheel-drive layout puts the nose of the car in charge of both drive and deceleration, a pairing that loads the front brakes far beyond what the standard system was designed to sustain in any spirited use. XYZ Racing’s front big brake kit for the Renault NEW SM5 (2005-2010) replaces the factory front hardware with a fitment-specific upgrade, bringing genuine thermal capacity and a three-compound pad selection to a platform that rewards the effort.

This is a front-axle kit, a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs with braided lines included. Three pad compounds let buyers match the kit to actual use rather than defaulting to the most aggressive available, and a full range of caliper finishes accommodates whatever the car’s wheel finish demands.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2010 Renault NEW SM5

On any front-drive sedan, the front brakes absorb the majority of braking energy, compounded by the forward weight transfer that occurs under deceleration. The hollow-vane disc improves heat dissipation by increasing airflow across the rotor body, which directly extends the window before fade onset during sustained or repeated heavy braking. The two-piece floating disc keeps the friction ring true as it expands, and braided lines hold the pedal firm where rubber softens.

Street is the quiet, low-dust default. Sport delivers sharper, more immediate pedal response from cold for fast-road use. Racing suits driving that involves repeated high-energy braking events, the sort the factory specification was not calibrated to survive cleanly.

About the Hollow Big Brake Kit

The Hollow Big Brake Kit is XYZ Racing’s front brake upgrade for vehicles requiring more thermal headroom than OEM-spec hardware can provide. The caliper is a hollow-body design as standard, managing temperature build-up more effectively than conventional hardware, which matters on heavier front-drive platforms where repeated braking events accumulate heat quickly. For owners running sustained high-load duty cycles on track, the optional Hollow Racing upgrade deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty.

Three pad compounds are available when you order: Street for unchanged day-to-day character, Sport for improved cold-bite and feel on fast-road use, and Racing for sustained high-load duty. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) finishes above those for owners fitting show-quality alloys that require a precise hardware match.

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.
