XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mazda 6 (NON MPS) (2002-2008)

The first-generation Mazda 6, the GG saloon and hatch and GY estate, carries most of its braking load up front, which leaves the rear axle under-served the moment you start using a circuit in anger. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit redresses that balance on the NON MPS cars, the naturally aspirated, front-wheel-drive 6 rather than the turbocharged MPS, giving the back axle the thermal headroom it needs to keep pulling its weight.

This is a rear upgrade, a pair of left and right rear calipers with matched discs, aimed at owners who run their 6 hard on fast road or the occasional track day and have found the standard rear discs glazing and the pedal going long. It pairs larger, hollow rotors with a fixed caliper to cut fade and restore a firm, consistent pedal.

What this brake kit does for your 2002-2008 Mazda 6 (NON MPS)

On the road the most obvious change is pedal feel: the fixed caliper flexes far less than the sliding original, so the bite point stays where you left it instead of creeping deeper as the discs warm. Push the 6 on track and the gains compound, as the hollow rotor sheds heat faster and trims a little unsprung mass at the rear, which helps the back axle settle over kerbs and mid-corner bumps. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the kit to how the car is actually used, from a daily that sees the odd B-road blast to a weekend track tool. The end result is a rear axle that resists fade across a session and a brake balance that no longer leans entirely on the fronts.

About the rear big brake kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a rear big brake kit specifically for the GG/GY Mazda 6, so the bracketry, caliper and rotor are sized to bolt to the existing rear hub rather than forcing a generic fit. The headline construction is a two-piece floating disc that runs cooler and lighter than a solid equivalent, which matters more at the rear than people expect once heat starts soaking into the hub and pads over repeated stops. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized centre bells in five colours or titanium selectable at checkout. The fixed, hollow-body caliper clamps the disc evenly from both sides, a clear step up in rigidity over the single-piston sliding caliper the car left the factory with, and a Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty is offered for serious track use. Three pad compounds cover the spread of use cases: Street for road manners and low dust, Sport for a firmer bite and wider heat range, and Racing for sustained track heat. Painted caliper finishes are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, with Custom Color matched to any Pantone plus premium polished-forged and candy ranges, so the kit can be specified to match the rest of the car.
