Caliper render for this kit:

The B8.5-generation S5 carries its supercharged 3.0 TFSI V6 well forward of the front axle, and that nose-heavy quattro layout means the rear brakes spend most of their working life balancing the car rather than scrubbing off the bulk of the speed. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Audi S5 8.5T Quattro (Type II) is built to keep that rear axle settled when the fronts are loaded hardest: under repeated hard stops, on long downhill braking zones, and during sustained fast-road and track work.
This is a rear-axle kit, so its job is composure and consistency rather than headline stopping numbers. With a choice of Street, Sport and Racing pad compounds, and a full set of caliper finishes, it lets you match the rear of the car to how you actually drive the S5.
What this brake kit does for your 2013-2017 Audi S5 8.5T Quattro (TYPE II)
On a heavy, four-wheel-drive coupe like this, the standard rear brakes can heat-soak before the fronts have given their all, which is what nudges the pedal long on a third or fourth hard stop. This kit restores rear bite and pedal consistency as temperatures climb, so braking stability holds under trail-braking into a corner. The Racing pad compound suits repeat track sessions, the Sport compound suits hard road and light track use, and the Street compound keeps cold-bite manners and low dust for daily use without squeal dominating the commute. Braided lines hold the pedal firm under heat. Paired with a front upgrade, it also keeps front-and-rear balance honest rather than overloading the nose.
About the Hollow rear brake kit
The Hollow rear brake kit takes a weight-conscious approach to the rotating assembly, using a two-piece floating disc to trim mass at the rear hubs where unsprung and rotational weight matter to ride and response. The forged caliper is hollow-bodied as standard. The kit is configurable around three pad compounds, Street for quiet road use, Sport for spirited fast-road driving and light track, and Racing for track temperatures, so the friction material can be matched to the duty cycle rather than compromised across all of them. Caliper finishes are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone option, letting the rear calipers read as a subtle factory-look upgrade or a deliberate statement behind the wheels. Braided lines are included, discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to two-tone anodized in five colours or titanium. It is engineered as a direct-fit rear-axle solution for this chassis, not a universal part adapted to suit.
Fitment for the Audi S5 8.5T Quattro (TYPE II) (2013-2017)
This kit is specified for the Audi S5 8.5T Quattro (Type II) across the 2013-2017 model years, fitting the rear axle of the quattro drivetrain as a pair of rear calipers and discs. Confirm your exact build year and that you are sourcing the rear-position kit before ordering, as front and rear hardware differ on this chassis.

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.
