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

The Model 3’s electric drivetrain creates a braking paradox that becomes apparent the moment you start using the car seriously on circuit. Regenerative deceleration handles the routine scrubbing of speed, so the friction brakes spend most of a session largely dormant, then face genuine, sustained heat the moment you disable regen for predictable corner entry, or simply push the battery into thermal management territory. That stop-start cycle is hard on stock hardware: components that never fully bed in struggle to develop consistent bite, and calipers cold for the first half of a session cannot cope when a heavy braking zone actually demands them.

The XYZ Racing Front Big Brake Kit for the Tesla Model 3 (2017-2020) addresses the front axle directly, where braking loads concentrate and where the stock system’s limitations show first in track-day conditions. It fits as a pair of front calipers and a pair of two-piece front discs.

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

The most tangible benefit on circuit is pedal consistency. Model 3 owners who have run the car hard know the gradual onset of sponginess as the stock front pads overheat, a soft, imprecise pedal that makes progressive modulation difficult precisely when it matters. 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 car that concentrates braking load aggressively.

Three pad compounds let you match the friction material to your actual programme. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for road use with occasional circuit sessions; Sport raises the thermal ceiling for regular track days where OEM pads become a real constraint; Racing is the full track compound for sustained performance across a complete session. 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, so the hardware is finished consistently with the car rather than sitting as a visual mismatch behind the alloys.

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. Choosing the right pad compound for your usage pattern matters more than the caliper colour: Street prioritises cold bite and progressive feel, Sport raises the thermal ceiling for owners who see regular circuit use without dedicated track tyres, and Racing is specified for sustained high-temperature operation, demanding proper bedding-in and working poorly at commute-cold temperatures.

All three compounds share the same caliper geometry. 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. The two-piece floating disc improves thermal dissipation at the front axle, where electric vehicles concentrate braking load more aggressively than equivalent combustion cars of comparable weight.

Fitment for the Tesla Model 3 (2017-2020)
