XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Cadillac SRX (2004-2009)

The Cadillac SRX rides on GM’s rear-drive Sigma platform, the same architecture that underpinned the CTS and STS, which gives it far more even weight distribution than the front-drive crossovers it was sold against. That balance means the rear axle pulls genuine braking duty, particularly on the Northstar V8 and all-wheel-drive cars that carry close to two tonnes. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit upgrades the back end specifically, where heat builds on long descents, repeated stops and loaded touring, and arrives as a matched left-and-right pair.

On a vehicle this size and weight, the rear brakes do more than trim speed: they keep the SRX settled and square under heavy braking, especially when it is fully laden or towing. This kit reworks that rear circuit with two-piece, hollow-vane rotors that shed mass and clear heat faster, backed by a choice of pad compound to match how the car actually gets driven.

What this brake kit does for your 2004-2009 Cadillac SRX

Fit the kit and the clearest change is pedal confidence on the second and third hard stop, the point where a standard rear setup on a heavy SRX starts to go soft. The hollow-vane rotor design cuts unsprung and rotational mass at the rear, which sharpens response and eases load on the rear bearings and hubs. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you set bite and temperature range to suit a daily SRX, a loaded family tourer or harder use, and matching the rear compound to the front keeps the brake balance honest. The larger rear discs also fill the wheel better, and with painted caliper finishes in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, the upgrade reads as deliberate behind the spokes.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit is XYZ Racing’s big brake upgrade for the back axle of the SRX. Its defining feature is the hollow-vane disc, a two-piece floating design that cores material out of the braking ring to lower weight while keeping the swept area a larger disc provides, exactly what a heavy crossover needs since its rear brakes spend their life managing heat rather than peak stopping force, and the floating bell lets the ring expand under heat without distorting. Those rotors are paired with a performance caliper, hollow-bodied as standard with a Hollow Racing upgrade available for serious track use that removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty, and a three-tier pad menu: a Street compound for quiet, low-dust road manners, a Sport compound that adds bite and fade resistance for harder road use, and a Racing compound built for sustained high-temperature work. Painted caliper finishes run from understated Anodized Black through Red, Yellow and Gold, with premium polished-forged and candy options and a custom Pantone choice, while discs can be drilled or slotted at the same price, braided lines are included, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized colour or titanium. The aim throughout is controlled, repeatable rear braking on a car that asks a lot of its back axle.
