XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mazda 6 (NON MPS) (2008-2012)

On the GH-generation Mazda 6 (NON MPS), stopping is almost entirely a front-axle affair. As a heavy front-wheel-drive saloon, the factory rear discs were specced to trail the fronts under normal braking, which leaves the back axle short of bite the moment you start asking more of the car. The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Mazda 6 (NON MPS) tackles that imbalance directly, giving the rear axle clamping capacity the standard setup never had.

Think of this as the rear half of a serious braking upgrade for the 2008-2012 Mazda 6, a pair of left and right rear calipers with matched discs. Run alongside a front kit, or matched to uprated front pads, it shifts more of the braking effort rearward so the car settles under heavy deceleration instead of pitching hard onto its nose. Pad compounds run Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware suits a daily GH or one that sees regular circuit miles.

What this brake kit does for your 2008-2012 Mazda 6 (NON MPS)

The first thing you notice is pedal consistency. A front-driver like the GH Mazda 6 dumps enormous heat into the front brakes, and a rear axle that carries more of the load eases that burden and pushes back the onset of fade. With the Racing compound fitted, the kit shrugs off repeat heavy stops far better than the original rear discs, which counts on long descents and back-to-back track sessions; the Sport compound covers harder fast-road use; and the Street compound keeps daily manners quiet with low dust. Around town you get a firmer, more progressive pedal and a rear end that stays settled when you trail-brake into a corner. The net result is a Mazda 6 that pulls up shorter and stays composed when you lean on it.

About the rear big brake kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a bolt-on rear upgrade specific to the Mazda 6 (NON MPS), pairing a larger two-piece floating disc and caliper with the pad and finish options owners actually want to specify. Three compounds are on offer: Street for ordinary road use, Sport for a harder road and light-track bias, and Racing for cars driven in anger on circuit. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized centre bells in five colours or titanium selectable at checkout. The hollow-body caliper is standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C, no dust cover and a two-year warranty for serious track use. It is finished in your choice of the included painted colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, or a custom Pantone, plus premium polished-forged and candy ranges, so it can either match the car or sit discreetly behind a set of wheels. Being a rear-specific kit, it is designed to work with the existing front brakes or a matching front big brake kit, lifting the rear axle’s thermal headroom and clamping force without altering the car’s underlying balance. It mounts to the standard rear axle of the GH Mazda 6.

Fitment for the Mazda 6 (NON MPS) (2008-2012)

This kit fits the GH-generation Mazda 6 (NON MPS) built from 2008 to 2012, the naturally aspirated and diesel models, not the turbocharged MPS, and ships as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs. The NON MPS designation matters here, so confirm your car is the standard variant and that its build year falls inside the 2008-2012 window before ordering.
