XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Honda CR-V MK3 (2007-2011)

The CR-V MK3 carries its mass high and well forward, and the rear axle on Honda’s third-generation SUV is the first part of the braking system to wave a white flag on a long, loaded descent. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit goes after exactly that weakness, adding thermal headroom and a firmer pedal to the back of a 1,600kg-plus family car that was never stopped with enthusiasm in mind.

It is a pair of rear calipers and discs, left and right, rather than a track weapon, and that suits the CR-V’s brief. Owners who tow, run the car fully loaded, or descend long passes will notice the gain first, because that is when the standard rear setup runs out of ideas and starts asking the fronts to do everything.

What this brake kit does for your 2007-2011 Honda CR-V MK3

On a tall SUV like the CR-V MK3, the rear brakes spend most of their life under-worked, until the car is heavy, the road tips downhill, and forward weight transfer suddenly demands more of them than the factory discs can give. This kit adds heat capacity where the standard setup runs short, so the pedal stays firm through repeated stops instead of going long and soft. You get more consistent bite from cold, a more even effort that calms the nose-down pitch under braking, and the freedom to match pad compound to how you actually use the car. Fit the Racing compound and the rear axle will tolerate sustained hard use that would have the original pads smoking; Sport suits firmer road work, and Street keeps things quiet and low-dust. Braided lines keep the pedal firm as the heat builds.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The disc is a two-piece floating rotor with hollow internal vanes: material is removed to cut rotating and unsprung mass without surrendering swept area, which helps the brakes shed heat and lets the rear suspension recover composure faster over poor surfaces. It is a complete rear-axle package, with discs and calipers engineered to work as a matched set on the CR-V MK3 rather than a parts-bin assembly. Three pad compounds are offered: Street for quiet, low-dust road manners, Sport for stronger bite and better fade resistance under fast-road use, and Racing for sustained high-temperature work. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for hard use that drops the dust cover, takes a 1000C rating and carries a two-year warranty. Caliper finishes run to Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone shade and premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) or candy (Teal, Blue, Red, Orange) options, so the view behind the rear wheels can be as discreet or as loud as you want. The priority throughout is consistent rear-axle braking on a heavy vehicle, not headline numbers.
