XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz C CLASS W203 C 240 (2000-2007)

The W203’s rear axle has always been the quiet partner in how this car stops. Mercedes built the C 240 for relaxed, long-legged motorway work, which means modest rear rotors and a pedal that starts to go soft once the discs have had a few hard stops in them. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Mercedes Benz C Class W203 C 240 puts larger, better-cooled discs and fresh calipers behind the rear wheels, supplied as a matched pair, so the back of the car carries its proper share of the braking load.

It is a rear-specific upgrade rather than a styling token. Three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – let you set the kit up around how the car is actually driven, from a high-mileage V6 saloon doing daily miles to a weekend that includes a few committed stops.

What this brake kit does for your 2000-2007 Mercedes Benz C Class W203 C 240

The first thing you feel is a firmer, more progressive pedal, because the larger two-piece rear rotor gives the system more thermal headroom before the bite starts to drop away. On a nose-heavy RWD saloon like the W203, getting the rear axle to contribute more under braking settles the car on turn-in and takes some of the workload off the front discs that normally do almost everything. The Racing compound holds up to repeat heavy stops without the long pedal that standard pads give once heat-soaked, while the Sport pad adds a wider heat range for fast road and the Street pad keeps cold bite sensible and dust low for everyday driving. Included caliper finishes – Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost – mean the visible upgrade through the rear wheels matches the rest of the car.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit is XYZ Racing’s lightweight take on a rear big brake upgrade. The hollow-vane disc construction is aimed at shedding rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle, which matters on a comfort-tuned chassis like the W203 where the standard rear setup is conservative. The kit pairs an uprated two-piece floating disc with a matched caliper, hollow-body as standard, and a choice of three pad compounds – Street for OEM-style behaviour, Sport for sharper road bite and heat range, and Racing for sustained high-temperature work; a Hollow Racing caliper upgrade rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty is offered for circuit use. Included caliper finishes run Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and 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, with two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout. It is engineered specifically for the rear position, so it complements rather than overwhelms the front brakes and is designed to improve front-to-rear balance under load.
