Why Choose XC3?
Precision Engineering, British Made
XC3 Engineering was founded by automotive enthusiasts based in Staffordshire, UK. We design, manufacture, and supply precision-engineered performance parts for track-day enthusiasts and serious drivers across the UK and Europe.
Unlike competitors who rebrand imported parts, every XC3 component is designed in-house and manufactured by us or trusted local UK engineering partners. We're not middlemen.
UK Engineering & Manufacturing Excellence
We manufacture in house and partner with specialist UK engineering firms in the Staffordshire region to produce every XC3-branded component to exacting tolerances. This isn't offshore manufacturing with uncertain quality control; this is British engineering you can trust, supported by local businesses we've built long-term relationships with.
Material Choices That Matter
We specify 6082-T6 aerospace-grade aluminium for our caliper carriers, rotor bells, and structural components, not the cheaper 6061 alloy used by many competitors. The difference? Superior strength, better fatigue resistance, and longer service life under the extreme loads of track driving.
Every aluminium component receives black anodising for corrosion resistance and durability. This isn't cosmetic; it's a protective layer that ensures your components look and perform like new for years.
Precision Tolerances, Perfect Fitment
We manufacture with the use of precision CNC machining to deliver tolerances measured in hundredths of a millimetre. The result? Components that fit the first time perfectly, with no modification required. Hub pinch bolts that seat precisely, caliper carriers that align perfectly, seat mounts with exact geometry.
Lifetime Warranty: We Stand Behind Our Engineering
We believe in the quality of our engineering so completely that we offer a lifetime warranty on every component we manufacture. If an XC3 part fails due to materials or workmanship, we'll replace it, no questions asked.
What's Covered
Our lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. If a component fails due to a manufacturing defect, material failure, or design flaw, we'll replace it at no cost.
What's Not Covered
Normal wear items (brake pads, rotors showing normal wear patterns), crash damage, improper installation, or modifications made after purchase are not covered. We believe in transparency; our warranty covers manufacturing quality, not consumables or misuse.
Product Development & Testing
Every XC3 product begins with CAD design, followed by prototype manufacturing and real-world testing. We don't release products until they've proven themselves on track cars under demanding conditions.
Technical Expertise & Customer Support
XC3 isn't just a parts supplier; we're your technical partner. Before you purchase, we're available to discuss fitment, answer technical questions, and recommend solutions for your specific build.
Need advice on brake caliper sizing? Wondering if a component will clear your wheel? We're engineers first, and we're here to help.
Contact us: Reach out via email or phone for pre-purchase technical consultation. We'd rather spend time ensuring you order the right components than process returns.
Quality Control & Standards
Every component leaving our facility undergoes inspection:
- Dimensional verification: Critical dimensions measured and verified against CAD specifications
- Material certification: Aluminium stock certified to 6082-T6 specification
- Visual inspection: Anodising quality, thread condition, and surface finish are checked before packaging
- Fitment verification: Sample components test-fitted to ensure proper clearances and alignment
We maintain these standards because your safety depends on our components performing flawlessly under extreme braking loads.
Why Choose XC3?
When you're investing £500, £1,000, or £3,000+ in components, you need confidence in quality, safety, and longevity. Here's what sets XC3 apart:
- UK-based design and manufacture in Staffordshire, not imported or rebranded parts.
- Lifetime warranty on all XC3-manufactured components
- Aerospace-grade materials: 6082-T6 aluminium, not cheaper alternatives
- Precision CNC machining for perfect fitment every time
- Engineering expertise available for technical consultation
- Direct manufacturer relationship, no middlemen
We're enthusiasts who happen to run a business, not businesspeople selling engineering products. That difference matters when you're trusting components at 150mph on track.
