Caliper render for this kit:

Hard, repeated stops are where the BG-generation Mazda 323 shows its age at the back axle. This was a light, front-biased hatchback and saloon built when rear braking was an afterthought on all but the rally-bred turbo variants, and the original rear setup fades and goes wooden long before the front has given its best. The XYZ Racing Hollow rear brake kit addresses exactly that imbalance.
This is a rear-axle upgrade for the 1989-1994 Mazda 323, a pair of rear calipers and matched discs built to restore proper bias and bite to a car that rewards momentum and a settled back end. It is aimed at owners running fast-road and track miles who want the rear of the car to keep working when the pace climbs, rather than handing all the load to the front.
What this brake kit does for your 1989-1994 Mazda 323
The most obvious gain is a firmer, more linear pedal that holds its character as the discs heat up, instead of going soft after a few committed stops. A stronger, more consistent rear contribution helps the 323 stay flat and stable under trail-braking, so the nose tucks in rather than washing wide into the apex. Pad compound choice tunes that feel directly. The Street compound is the quiet, low-dust road default; the Sport compound adds bite and a wider heat range for fast road with the occasional track session; and the Racing compound is the dedicated track compound for repeated hard use where outright stopping power matters most. Better rear control also takes strain off the front axle, slowing pad and disc wear across the car.
About the Hollow rear brake kit
The Hollow rear kit is a matched disc-and-caliper package engineered specifically for the 323’s rear hubs rather than a generic adaptation. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, handling the heavier, sustained clamping loads the original rear hardware was never specified for, while the two-piece floating disc is sized to shed heat across longer, harder use. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-piece floating construction that lets the friction ring expand cleanly under load. Centre bell upgrades are available in two-tone anodized finishes across five colours, or in titanium. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you set the kit up for commuting, fast road or circuit work without changing the hardware. Painted caliper colours are included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black; a Custom Color matched to any Pantone is available, and premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) extend the range further. For serious track use a Hollow Racing caliper upgrade adds a 1000C rating, no dust cover and a two-year warranty.
Fitment for the Mazda 323 (1989-1994)

Choosing your spec
Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.
Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing
Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.
Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.
Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing
Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.
Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 330–356mm (rear). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish
Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).
Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.
Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).


Centre bells
The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
