XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Audi A8 QUATTRO (1994-2002)

The D2 A8 was Audi’s first aluminium-spaceframe luxury saloon, and while that construction trimmed weight up top, a permanent-quattro V8 still asks a great deal of its rear brakes on a long descent or a heavy autobahn stop. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Audi A8 Quattro replaces the standard rear setup with two-piece floating discs and an upgraded caliper sized for repeated hard use rather than a single emergency stop.

This is a rear-axle upgrade for owners keeping a 1994-2002 A8 quattro genuinely usable: cars that cover distance, carry weight, and need a back end that resists fade once the fronts have started to tire. Pad compound runs from Street through Sport to a Racing mix, so the kit can be set for a fast-road D2 or one that sees the occasional track session.

What this brake kit does for your 1994-2002 Audi A8 Quattro

On the road you notice it first as consistency: the two-piece floating disc pulls heat out of the friction surface faster, so pedal feel stays firm through a sequence of heavy stops instead of going long and wooden. That mass on a 1994-2002 Audi A8 Quattro never goes away, and a rear axle that keeps biting helps the quattro system put braking force down without the back end feeling vague. The upgraded caliper firms up initial bite and tightens modulation when you are trail-braking into a roundabout or down a slip road. Choose the Street pad for quiet daily manners and low dust, the Sport compound for firmer fast-road response, or the Racing compound when you want maximum bite from a warm system. Caliper finish runs from the included painted colours through to premium polished and candy options, so the upgrade can stay hidden behind the wheels or become part of the car’s look.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The rear brake kit is built around a two-piece floating disc whose hollowed internal vaning cuts rotating mass while keeping a large thermal mass in the friction ring. Less rotating and unsprung weight at the rear axle eases the load on the A8’s dampers and helps the brakes shed heat between applications. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard to keep weight low, with an optional Hollow Racing build for harder-driven cars that removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The kit pairs the disc with that upgraded caliper and a choice of three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, covering everything from a refined daily D2 to a harder-driven car. Because the system is engineered specifically for the rear of the A8 quattro, a matched pair of rear calipers and discs with braided lines, the disc and caliper mounting are matched to the factory hub rather than adapted from a universal kit. Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The result is a rear brake that behaves predictably cold, warms without drama, and holds its bite once it is up to temperature.

Fitment for the Audi A8 Quattro (1994-2002)

This kit is built for the D2-generation Audi A8 quattro sold from 1994 to 2002 and fits the rear axle. It is a rear-specific kit (SKU XYZ-BRK-BKR-AU-005-REAR), so pair it with a matching front setup if you want a balanced upgrade across both axles. Confirm your model year falls inside the 1994 to 2002 span before you order.
