Fits Mercedes Benz A CLASS W177 A35 4WD (2019-2026)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

The W177 A35’s 4MATIC system runs a front-biased torque split, so on the road the rear axle rarely feels stressed. Push the car on a circuit, though, and the back end starts carrying real thermal load: trail-braking a 1.5-tonne AWD hatch into a slow corner asks the rear discs to shed heat they were never sized to handle from the factory. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz A Class W177 A35 4WD is built to give that axle the headroom it lacks.

This is a rear-axle upgrade, a pair of left and right rear calipers with matched discs, aimed at owners who use their A35 hard, fast road runs into track days, and want the brake balance to stay predictable once the standard rear setup starts to wilt. With three pad compounds and a larger, lighter rotor package, it lets you match the rear bite to how you actually drive.

What this big brake kit does for your 2019-2026 Mercedes Benz A Class W177 A35 4WD

The first thing you notice is pedal consistency. A rear setup with more thermal mass resists the fade that creeps in after a few hard laps, so the brake balance the A35 leaves the factory with holds together when you need it. The Racing compound bites hard and tolerates serious heat, the Sport pad widens the heat range for fast-road and the odd track day, and the Street option keeps dust and noise civil for daily use. Because the hollow rotor design trims unsprung and rotating mass at the back axle, the rear suspension can settle faster over kerbs and broken surfaces, which steadies the car mid-corner. On a front-heavy AWD hatch that tends towards understeer, a rear axle that bites cleanly under braking gives you a more neutral, rotatable platform to lean on.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow line takes its name from a hollow-body forged caliper and two-piece floating disc design that removes mass without giving up disc area. The point of a big brake kit is more swept surface and more heat capacity, and doing that while keeping weight down is the hard part. The kit pairs an uprated rear disc with a bolt-on caliper and the hardware to mount both to the A35’s rear hubs. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized centre bells in five colours or titanium selectable at checkout. You choose the pad compound when you order: Street for road-biased use, Sport for a sharper feel with manageable dust and a wider heat range, and Racing for circuit work where heat tolerance matters more than cold refinement. 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. Calipers come in the included painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black), a Custom Color, or the premium polished and candy ranges, so the kit can sit discreetly behind the wheels or read as a deliberate statement. It is a rear-specific kit, designed to complement the front brakes rather than replace the whole system in one go.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz A Class W177 A35 4WD (2019-2026)

This kit is mapped to the W177-generation Mercedes Benz A Class in A35 4MATIC form, covering model years 2019 to 2026, fits the rear axle specifically, and ships as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs. Confirm your car is the A35 4WD variant on the W177 chassis before ordering, as fitment is matched to that hub and rear-brake spec.

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.
