XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Tesla MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE (2017-2020)

The Model 3 Performance’s defining paradox on circuit is mass. At nearly 1,850 kg it arrives at braking zones carrying more weight than most ICE sports cars in this price bracket, yet the dual-motor drivetrain has pushed it there faster than almost any of them. Regenerative deceleration absorbs most of the thermal load during road use, leaving the hydraulic front brakes relatively lightly exercised, but on track, where regen is either reduced or insufficient for the corner-entry speeds the car can reach, those brakes are suddenly asked to do very concentrated work, very quickly.

The XYZ Racing Front Big Brake Kit addresses the gap between what the factory front hardware was sized for and what repeated, hard braking from high speed actually demands. It fits as a pair of front calipers and a pair of two-piece front discs, and three pad compounds mean the same kit can be configured for a car that commutes on weekdays and runs club-sport sessions at weekends.

What this brake kit does for your 2017-2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance

The front axle carries the greatest braking burden on the Model 3 Performance. Under hard stops on track, particularly when Track Mode is adjusting the balance between regenerative and hydraulic braking at corner entry, the front hydraulic system needs to handle concentrated energy inputs the standard setup was not always calibrated to absorb repeatedly without heat build. The two-piece floating discs raise the front axle’s thermal headroom, with the hollow-vane casting driving air through the disc face and the two-piece construction trimming rotating and unsprung mass on a heavy, rapid car.

Three pad compounds scale across genuinely different use profiles. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for road-biased use where temperatures stay moderate; Sport raises the fade threshold for drivers pushing hard on a country road or through a warm-up lap; Racing holds its bite across the higher temperatures that accumulate during consecutive sessions. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, braided lines firm up the pedal, and the calipers are painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no cost, or in any Pantone as a Custom Color for an added charge, visible through the Performance trim’s open-spoke wheels and marking clearly that the braking has been taken beyond factory spec.

About the Front Big Brake Kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, light against its strength, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious circuit use that removes the dust cover and adds a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. The front-only fitment concentrates on the axle where thermal and mechanical stress accumulates hardest during track use on an EV, the transition point at which regenerative braking tapers off and full hydraulic intervention takes over, where disc and pad temperature climbs most aggressively.

All three pad compounds share the same caliper geometry, so the kit can be matched to the car’s primary use without a hardware change. Beyond the included paints, finish choices extend to premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and a candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be specified two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium, all chosen when you order.

Fitment for the Tesla Model 3 Performance (2017-2020)

This kit is confirmed for the Tesla Model 3 Performance across its 2017-2020 production window, the dual-motor AWD Performance variant specifically and not the Standard Range or Long Range builds, which carried different front brake assemblies. It fits the front axle as a left-and-right pair. Post-2020 Model 3 Performance production incorporated revised front-end hardware that falls outside this fitment window; buyers should confirm build date before specifying.
