XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Honda CIVIC FB (R18/ R20) (2012-2015)

The ninth-generation Civic FB carries most of its mass over the front axle, so the rear brakes spend their factory life as junior partners, right up until you start braking hard and late. On a track day or a committed B-road run, the standard rear setup is the first part of the system to fade, and a Civic that loses its rear bite turns vague and nervous on corner entry.

This XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the Honda Civic FB (R18 and R20 cars, 2012-2015) puts the back axle back to work. It is a pair of rear calipers and discs, left and right, built to balance a front big brake kit or to sharpen stopping on an otherwise standard car, with two-piece floating discs that strip rotating and unsprung mass from exactly where the FB feels it most.

What this rear big brake kit does for your 2012-2015 Honda Civic FB

Fit it and the first change you feel is a firmer, more progressive rear bite that holds its character as the discs come up to temperature. The hollow-vane disc design sheds rotating mass, so the rear wheels respond faster and the suspension has less unsprung weight to manage over kerbs and broken tarmac. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to how you actually drive the Civic. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default; Sport widens the heat range for fast road with the odd track day; Racing is the proper circuit compound for repeated heavy braking zones. With more consistent rear retardation, the FB stays settled under trail braking and turns in with more authority, and the front pads stop being asked to haul down the whole car on their own. Braided lines come as part of the kit to keep the pedal firm as the fluid heats.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a bolt-on rear system for the FB Civic rather than a universal part. The discs are two-piece floating rotors, hollow-vane internally to remove material without sacrificing swept area, so the brakes warm quickly and carry less inertia to blunt response. The caliper is a hollow-body design as standard; for serious track use a Hollow Racing upgrade drops 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 available, and premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, or candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The pad range spans a Street compound for road use, a Sport compound with more bite and heat tolerance, and a Racing compound for sustained circuit work. Each variant shares the same hardware, so you can run a road pad now and step up to the Racing compound when you start booking track sessions. The whole kit is engineered to act as the rear half of a balanced braking package on the 2012-2015 Civic.
