Fits Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 270 CDI (2003-2009)

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.

XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 270 CDI (2003-2009) — 330 mm
330 mm

The W211-generation E-Class was built to swallow motorway miles, and the E 270 CDI’s torquey five-cylinder turbodiesel encourages exactly the kind of long, fast, fully-laden journeys that punish a rear axle. Standard discs and pads on a heavy executive saloon glaze and fade when you ask them to scrub speed repeatedly down a steep A-road or off a sustained dual-carriageway run, and it is usually the rear that loses bite first.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit is a direct answer to that. It upgrades the rear of the 2003-2009 Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 270 CDI with a hollow-vane two-piece disc and a fresh caliper, giving stronger, more repeatable stopping without turning a refined diesel cruiser into something harsh.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2009 Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 270 CDI

After fitting, the clearest change is how much later the rear brakes start to feel tired. The hollow-vane disc design sheds heat faster than a solid rear rotor, so pedal feel stays firm through repeated stops instead of going long and vague. Pad compound is your tuning lever: the Street option keeps things quiet and dust-light for daily commuting, the Sport compound adds bite for harder road driving and the odd track day, and the Racing compound copes with the temperatures of sustained circuit use. On a hard braking event that extra rear authority also helps the W211 stay settled rather than pitching forward.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

This is a rear-axle big brake kit built around a two-piece floating hollow-vane disc, where internal voids trim rotating mass and improve cooling compared with a conventional solid casting. It pairs that disc with an XYZ Racing caliper, hollow-bodied as standard, and a choice of three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the kit can be specified for anything from refined daily use to track-leaning road work. Serious track users can step up to the optional Hollow Racing caliper, which drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Calipers come in the included Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone shade and premium polished-forged or candy finishes available, so the upgrade can sit discreetly behind the wheel or read as a deliberate statement. Everything is sized for the rear of the car and supplied as a matched pair, working with the front setup rather than overwhelming it.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz E CLASS W211 E 270 CDI (2003-2009)

This kit is specified for the W211-chassis E-Class in E 270 CDI form, covering the 2003 to 2009 production span. It is a rear-position fitment supplied as a pair of rear calipers and discs, so confirm your car is the W211 E 270 CDI before ordering.

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.
