XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 8 SERIES G 16 (NON M8) (2018-2026)

At over two tonnes in M850i xDrive trim, the G16 8 Series Gran Coupé asks far more of its rear axle than its long-legged grand-touring image lets on. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the BMW 8 Series G16 (non-M8) is aimed squarely at that load: a rear end that has to soak up heat on long Alpine descents, settle a heavy four-door under repeated high-speed motorway stops, and stand up to the occasional track session without the pedal going long.

This is a rear big brake kit built around a hollow-vane two-piece disc, which strips rotating mass off the back axle while adding swept area for heat to escape into. You choose the pad compound, Street, Sport or Racing, and the caliper finish, so the same hardware suits a comfort-biased cruiser or a sharper fast-road setup.

What this brake kit does for your 2018-2026 Bmw 8 Series G 16 (NON M8)

The first thing you feel is a firmer, more progressive pedal, because the larger discs and stiffer caliper resist the squash and fade that creep into a heavy GT’s standard rear setup once it gets hot. The hollow-vane disc cuts rotating mass at the rear axle, which helps the back end settle more quickly over crests and through quick direction changes, while the two-piece floating build keeps the face true under load. On a long descent the extra thermal capacity keeps bite consistent rather than tailing off. With three pad compounds, you can set the rear balance to match how you actually drive the car: the Street pad quiet and low-dust, the Sport pad firmer with a wider heat range, and the Racing pad harder and more heat-tolerant for repeat hard stops.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit takes its name from its hollow-vane disc, where material is removed from the internal structure to lower rotating and unsprung mass without giving up the larger diameter that gives a big brake kit its thermal headroom. It pairs a matched left-and-right pair of two-piece discs with a rigid replacement caliper to keep flex and knock-back in check when the brakes are working hard, along with braided lines and chassis-specific brackets. Pad compound is a fitted choice rather than an afterthought: a Street compound for everyday low-dust driving, a Sport compound for harder road use and a wider heat range, and a Racing compound for track and high-heat work. The caliper is a hollow-body unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing version rated to 1000C and a two-year warranty for serious track use. Included painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged and candy options above that, so the rear hardware reads the way you want behind the wheels. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells are selectable. The kit is engineered specifically as a rear upgrade for the heavy CLAR-platform 8 Series, not a generic universal caliper bolted onto whatever fits.
