XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 200 (1993-2000)

The W202’s rear axle was tuned for refinement first. Mercedes hung the C 200 on a comfort-biased multi-link rear end and fitted modest rear rotors sized for relaxed executive-saloon duty – which is exactly the part of the car that runs out of ideas once you start using the brakes in anger. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz C Class W202 C 200 goes straight at that weak point.

This is a rear-axle upgrade, supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs, so its job is balance. More thermal capacity and a firmer, more consistent bite at the back wheels means the car settles instead of squirming under heavy retardation. With three pad compounds and a wide caliper-finish choice, it suits a tidy fast-road W202 or a weekend that includes the odd track session.

What this brake kit does for your 1993-2000 Mercedes Benz C Class W202 C 200

Fit it and the first thing you feel on the C 200 is a rear axle that stops fading into vagueness after a sequence of hard stops. The two-piece floating disc uses a hollow-vane friction ring to shed heat and unsprung mass, so the rear wheels follow the road more faithfully under braking and the pedal holds its travel. Because this is a rear kit, the real prize is brake balance: the back of the car carries its share of the stopping load rather than leaning everything on the fronts, which steadies the W202 as you trail the brake into a bend. The Racing pad compound gives the highest-temperature bite for circuit days, the Sport compound trades a little outright grab for a wider heat range on fast road, and the Street compound is the quiet, low-dust default that keeps daily manners intact.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit takes its name from its disc design: the rotor vanes are hollowed to pull weight out of the rotating, unsprung assembly while keeping a face large enough to store more heat than the factory rear setup. Matched to the kit’s caliper, which is hollow-body as standard, it gives the C 200 a deeper thermal reserve and a more linear response as temperature climbs; a Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty is offered for committed track use. XYZ Racing builds the package around three selectable pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – so the same hardware covers a commuter, a fast-road car and a track-biased build without swapping the disc or caliper. Calipers come in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, plus premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs are drilled or slotted at the same price, and two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium can be added at checkout. The whole kit is specified for the rear axle of the W202 platform and is meant to complement the front of the car for an even bias, not to overpower it.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz C Class W202 C 200 (1993-2000)

This kit is specified for the Mercedes Benz C Class W202 C 200 across the 1993 to 2000 model years, and covers the rear axle only. It is matched to the C 200 variant of the W202 saloon, so confirm your car is the W202 chassis rather than the later W203 before ordering. Front fitment is a separate package – pair the two if you want a full-axle refresh.
