XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz A CLASS W176 4 (2013-2018)

The W176 A-Class carries its mass over the front axle, a transverse-engined hatchback layout that leaves the rear brakes doing comparatively little until you start braking deep into corners or stacking stops on a quick road. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz A Class W176 4 (2013-2018) addresses that imbalance, adding rear stopping capacity and heat tolerance to match harder work at the front.

Hollow disc construction sheds rotating and unsprung mass at the rear corners, and the kit pairs that with a fixed caliper and your choice of pad compound. Supplied as a pair of left and right rear calipers with matched discs, it brings the rear axle’s braking up to the level the front is already working at for fast-road driving or occasional track days in a W176.

What this brake kit does for your 2013-2018 Mercedes Benz A Class W176 4

The first thing you notice after fitting is a firmer, more consistent rear bite under repeated heavy braking, the fade resistance the standard rear setup gives up once it gets hot. The hollow rotors cut unsprung weight at the rear corners, letting the rear dampers settle faster over broken surfaces and sharpening turn-in. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to use: Street for daily running, Sport for spirited road work with a wider heat range, and Racing for circuit sessions where rear bite matters under trail-braking. Included painted caliper colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black), a Custom Color, and the premium polished and candy ranges mean the hardware looks right behind an open wheel. On a front-heavy W176, a stronger rear contribution also steadies the car under braking, easing the nose-dive and front-pad overwork that come with the stock balance.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is XYZ Racing’s rear-axle upgrade for the W176, built around hollow-vane, two-piece floating disc construction that improves cooling airflow through the rotor while shaving rotating mass. The fixed, hollow-body caliper clamps more evenly than a sliding stock unit, keeping pad wear consistent and pedal feel predictable as temperatures climb, and a Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty is offered for serious track use. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized centre bells in five colours or titanium selectable at checkout. Buyers configure the kit with one of three pad compounds: a Street compound for road use, a Sport compound for harder fast-road driving, and a Racing compound for track work where the pads need to bite hot and shrug off fade. Caliper finish is selectable across the included painted colours through to a custom Pantone, so the kit can be specified to suit the car. As a rear kit, it is designed to complement front braking and restore balance rather than to work in isolation.
