Caliper render for this kit:

The B8 S4 carries its supercharged 3.0 TFSI weight over the front axle, so the rear brakes spend most of their life as the supporting act. Push the car on a track day, though, and that rear axle starts to matter: heat builds in the standard discs, the pedal lengthens, and the brake balance you trusted on the road quietly shifts. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Audi S4 B8 2WD (4D/5D)(TYPE II) is built to address exactly that.
This is a rear-axle upgrade aimed at restoring thermal headroom and keeping the back of the car composed under repeated stops. The two-piece floating disc trims rotating mass, and the three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the kit to how hard you actually drive, from fast-road duty to sustained circuit work.
What this brake kit does for your 2011-2015 Audi S4 B8 2WD (4D/5D)(TYPE II)
Fit the kit and the first thing you notice is a firmer, more consistent pedal once the brakes are warm, with the rear discs shedding heat faster so the bite point stops wandering deep into a session. On a heavy car like the S4, that rear thermal capacity matters more than the headline figures suggest: it stops the front axle from shouldering the entire load and keeps the chassis settled on corner entry. The Racing pad compound gives you stronger bite for circuit use, the Sport compound suits hard road and light track work, and the Street compound keeps cold-brake response and dust manageable for daily driving. Braided lines hold the pedal firm as the fluid warms. Pick the caliper finish to suit the build, with Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, or a custom Pantone colour, so the upgrade reads as deliberate behind the wheels.
About the Hollow rear brake kit
The Hollow line is built on a two-piece floating rotor with hollow internal vanes, where material is removed to cut rotating and unsprung mass without giving up swept area, and a forged caliper that is hollow-bodied as standard. Less rotating mass at the rear means the brakes accelerate and slow more willingly with the wheel, which helps both pedal feel and the way the rear suspension follows the road. As a rear-specific kit it pairs naturally with a front big brake upgrade, letting you set front-and-rear balance rather than overworking one end. Pad choice is central to the system: the Street compound covers quiet, low-dust road use, the Sport compound adds bite and fade resistance for spirited driving, and the Racing compound is aimed at track sessions where heat is the limiting factor. Caliper colour is configurable across five included options, plus a custom Pantone finish, and the kit adds braided lines, drilled or slotted discs at the same price, and a centre bell that upgrades to two-tone anodized in five colours or titanium.

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.
