Caliper render for this kit:
The Model S Plaid’s mass, over two tonnes, combined with the velocities its tri-motor drivetrain generates means the front brake system faces a thermal and mechanical challenge on repeated hard stops that few road cars encounter so routinely. Regenerative deceleration handles light-load slowing efficiently, but when a full-ABS stop is called for, or when an airfield event demands run after run of maximum deceleration, the front friction brakes carry the full consequence of that kinetic energy.
The XYZ Racing Front Big Brake Kit for the Tesla Model S Plaid addresses that operational reality. It fits as a pair of front calipers and a pair of two-piece front discs, with three pad compounds and a full range of caliper finishes, making this a single kit that spans daily use through to dedicated performance driving.
What this brake kit does for your 2023-2026 Tesla MODEL S PLAID
For the Plaid the brake upgrade question is less about peak stopping force and more about what the system can sustain across repeated hard applications. The two-piece floating discs raise the front axle’s thermal capacity, the hollow-vane casting drives air through the disc face to shed heat between stops, and the two-piece construction trims rotating and unsprung mass at the speeds the Plaid generates.
Three pad compounds cover the duty cycle. Street is the quiet, low-dust default that sharpens initial bite without the cold-temperature sensitivity that makes a track pad awkward on a car which also sees motorway-to-junction braking before it sees a circuit; Sport adds bite and heat range for harder road and occasional performance driving; Racing stabilises friction coefficient across the high-temperature range that back-to-back maximum-effort stops generate, where conventional pad materials degrade and pedal feel changes character. 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, keeping the upgrade visible through 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 sustained circuit and airfield use that removes the dust cover and adds a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. The front-axle fitment targets the braking load that forward weight transfer concentrates there under deceleration, and at the speeds the Plaid generates that concentration is extreme.
All three pad 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, so the kit’s specification sits alongside the visual build level of the car it goes on.
Fitment for the Tesla MODEL S PLAID (2023-2026)
This XYZ Racing Front Big Brake Kit is built for the Tesla Model S Plaid across the 2023 to 2026 model year range, fitting the front axle as a left-and-right pair. The Plaid platform carries distinct front hub and brake-carrier geometry compared to the standard long-range Model S, so confirm you are sourcing the Plaid-specific configuration rather than a general Model S application. Year and variant confirmation is required 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.
