XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Honda CIVIC EF CRX (1987-1991)

The fourth-generation Civic and CRX were among the lightest cars Honda ever built, and the rear axle shows it: drum brakes on most variants, modest discs on the rest, none of it sized for the way these cars get used now. The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Honda Civic EF CRX (1987-1991) replaces that with a proper disc setup built to match an uprated front when the car is being driven in anger.

This is the back half of the braking equation for owners running B-series swaps, sticky tyres, or repeat track sessions in a sub-1000kg shell. Rear braking on these cars is easy to overwhelm, and a correctly sized rear kit restores the bias you actually want on the way into a corner.

What this brake kit does for your 1987-1991 Honda Civic EF CRX

On a chassis this light, every kilo of rotating and unsprung mass counts, and the two-piece floating disc keeps that weight down at the rear hub. The payoff on the car is a firmer, more progressive pedal, less rear-end vagueness once the discs are up to temperature, and brake balance that stays put when the front pads are loaded. Three pad compounds let you set the rear to the same duty cycle as the front: Street is the quiet, low-dust default, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road and occasional track, and Racing is the dedicated circuit compound. Whether that is a daily CRX or a stripped EF track build, the rear axle then supports rotation under trail-braking instead of locking early or fading away.

About the Rear Big Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s rear kit is supplied as a matched pair of two-piece floating discs and calipers for the back axle. The rotors run internal hollow vanes that trim rotating weight without surrendering thermal capacity, the right priority on a featherweight platform where the rear brakes sit under-worked until the moment you lean on them, and they come drilled or slotted at the same price. The caliper clamps a larger swept area than the factory rear arrangement, and the kit ships with three pad compounds: Street for quiet road use, Sport for fast-road and occasional track, and Racing for sustained circuit work. The hollow-body caliper is standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Included painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone colour at £150, plus premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, so the rear can match the front kit or the wheel package. It is a bolt-on rear disc conversion that brings the EF and CRX rear axle up to the standard the rest of a modified car already demands.
