XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Honda CIVIC FD1 (2005-2011)

The FD1 carries its mass over the front axle. As an eighth-generation Civic saloon, it brakes hardest at the nose and asks comparatively little of the rear, which is why the factory rear setup is the first part of the system to wilt once you start stringing corners together on a circuit or a quick B-road. The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Honda Civic FD1 (2005-2011) rebuilds that rear bite.

This is a pair of rear calipers and discs, left and right, built around two-piece floating discs that shed both weight and heat, paired with calipers you can run on Racing, Sport or Street pad compound. It restores the front-to-rear brake balance a harder-driven FD1 actually needs, instead of leaving the front pair to carry the whole load.

What this brake kit does for your 2005-2011 Honda Civic FD1

The first thing you feel after fitting is consistency. On a front-drive saloon like the FD1 the rear contributes a smaller share of stopping force, so when the rear under-brakes or overheats the whole car turns nervous as you trail the brake into a slow corner. A correctly specified rear big brake kit holds bite as the rotors warm, which settles the back end at exactly the moment the front is loaded. The hollow-vane discs run cooler and lighter, trimming rotating and unsprung mass at the rear hubs so the dampers track surface changes more cleanly. Pick the Racing compound for repeated track stops, the Sport compound for stronger bite and a wider heat range on fast roads, or Street if you want quiet, low-dust road manners on the upgraded hardware. Braided lines are part of the kit, so the pedal stays firm as temperatures climb.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a rear-axle kit cut specifically for the FD1 Civic. The discs are two-piece floating rotors with hollow internal vanes that remove mass and open up airflow, lowering operating temperature and reducing the weight each rear hub has to control. Pads come in three compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so one set of hardware covers a daily saloon, a fast-road build or a car that sees regular track time. The caliper is a hollow-body design as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that loses the dust cover, takes a 1000C rating and carries a two-year warranty. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone shade, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Teal, Blue, Red, Orange) finishes. Every part is sized for the rear of the eighth-generation Civic, so the kit complements a front upgrade rather than overwhelming a chassis that already does most of its braking up front.
