Caliper render for this kit:

On a front-driven Alfa Romeo 147 the rear axle does the lighter share of the work. The fronts haul the car down while the rears barely warm through, and on a damp commute that balance is fine. Push the pace on a circuit and it bites back: neglected rear discs glaze, the pedal goes long, and the back of the car stops contributing exactly when you need it. This XYZ Racing Rear Big Brake Kit for the Alfa Romeo 147 (2000-2010) keeps the rear axle working with the fronts when the pace climbs, on a pair of two-piece floating discs sized to match what you are running up front.
Each kit is a pair: left and right rear calipers with matching rear discs, supplied with braided lines for a firmer pedal that does not swell under heat. The discs use a hollow-vane internal structure that drops rotating and unsprung mass while opening up the airflow that carries heat off the friction face, so the rears shed temperature instead of soaking it.
What this rear brake kit does for your 2000-2010 Alfa Romeo 147
Fit it and the first thing you notice is consistency under repeated braking. The hollow-vane discs pull heat out of the rear faster, so the brake balance the 147 was set up with stays put instead of creeping forward as the rears tire. Lower rotating mass at the rear axle also sharpens how quickly the wheels answer the pedal and throttle, something a 147 on worn factory discs never quite manages.
Pad compound is your call. Street is the quiet, low-dust road compound and the sensible default for most cars. Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road with the occasional track day. Racing is the full track compound for cars that see real session time. Pick the one that matches how the car is driven and how the front axle is set up.
The calipers are hollow-body as standard and look the part behind the spokes. Included painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, or specify any Pantone code as a Custom Color. If you want something with more depth, the premium tier covers polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, plus candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange.
About the Rear Big Brake Kit
XYZ Racing builds this as a rear-axle upgrade, not a like-for-like service swap. The discs are two-piece and floating, with a hollow-vane core that removes material where it does nothing for braking, cutting rotating mass and improving the airflow over the friction surface. Disc face is drilled or slotted at the same price, so the choice is down to looks and feel. Centre bell upgrades are on the table too: two-tone anodizing in five colours, or titanium, both selectable when you order.
The caliper is hollow-body as standard. For serious track use there is a Hollow Racing option that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Because this kit targets the rear specifically, it is the natural partner to a front big brake kit on the same 147, letting you build a balanced system across both axles rather than overbraking one end.
Fitment for the Alfa Romeo 147 ALL Model (excluding GTA) (2000-2010)
This kit is mapped to the Alfa Romeo 147 across the full 2000 to 2010 production run and fits every variant except the GTA, whose brake hardware needs its own setup. Twin Spark, JTD diesel or any other non-GTA trim, this is the correct rear kit. Confirm your caliper finish and pad compound when you place the order.

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 330–356mm (rear). 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.
