XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Chrysler 300C 2.7 (NON SRT-8) (2005-2010)

The LX-platform 300C is a big rear-drive saloon that carries the best part of 1,800kg, and on the 2.7 V6 the factory rear brakes were specified for relaxed motorway work rather than firm, repeated stops. Load that mass into a roundabout or a downhill A-road and the standard rear setup starts to feel vague long before the chassis runs out of grip. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit replaces the weakest part of the base car’s stopping hardware with a larger two-piece disc and a stiffer caliper, supplied as a matched left-and-right pair.

Because the 2.7 sits below the HEMI cars, it never received the bigger brakes fitted to the SRT-8, so the rear axle is exactly where most owners feel the shortfall first. The kit restores the rear’s share of the braking job, which on a nose-heavy RWD saloon matters more than the raw numbers suggest.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2010 Chrysler 300C 2.7 (NON SRT-8)

The first thing you notice is a firmer, more progressive pedal that does not sink as the discs heat up. On a car this heavy, rear fade is what turns a confident stop into a nervous one, and the larger hollow-vane disc gives the system more thermal headroom before that point arrives. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the bite to how you actually drive, from quiet, low-dust town running to harder fast-road and trackday use, and matching the rear compound to the front keeps the brake balance honest. The upshot is a 300C that settles under braking instead of squatting and wandering, with the rear staying planted as you trail off the pedal into a corner, helped by the braided lines in the kit.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit pairs an uprated two-piece floating disc with a machined caliper that clamps harder and resists flex under load. The hollow-vane braking ring sheds heat quickly, which is the single biggest factor in keeping a heavy saloon’s rear brakes consistent stop after stop, and the floating bell lets the ring expand under heat without distorting. The caliper body is hollow-cast 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. You choose from three pad compounds: Street for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for spirited fast-road driving, and Racing for sustained high-temperature work. Painted caliper finishes are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with premium polished-forged and candy options and a custom Pantone choice, while discs come 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, so the hardware behind the spokes can be as subtle or as loud as the rest of the build.

Fitment for the Chrysler 300C 2.7 (NON SRT-8) (2005-2010)

This kit is cut specifically for the 2.7 V6 NON SRT-8 300C built between 2005 and 2010 on the LX platform, as a left-and-right pair. It is the correct rear fitment for the base-engine car, which runs smaller factory rear brakes than the HEMI and SRT-8 models.
