Caliper render for this kit:

The W212 E-Class was tuned for refinement first, and at well over 1.7 tonnes it loads its brakes harder than the hushed cabin ever admits. On the E 300, weight sits over the nose and the rear axle is left to do the quieter work: settling the car as you brake into a roundabout, holding the line, scrubbing motorway speed without the pedal creeping toward the floor.
The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz E Class W212 E 300 rebuilds that rear axle with lighter hollow-vane discs and a larger caliper. It is the rear half of a proper balance upgrade for a heavy executive saloon, and it earns its place on a car that spends real time at speed.
What this big brake kit does for your 2009-2016 Mercedes Benz E Class W212 E 300
Fit it and the first thing you feel is a rear axle that reacts more cleanly; the hollow-vane disc strips rotating and unsprung mass, so the suspension settles faster over broken surfaces and the back of the car stays composed under hard braking. The larger rear caliper adds clamping force and, more importantly, thermal headroom, so a heavy saloon hauled down from speed again and again resists the long, soft pedal that creeps in once standard discs heat-soak. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you set rear bite to match a daily commute, a fast B-road or a track day.
About the Hollow rear brake kit
The Hollow rear brake kit takes its name from its discs: a two-piece floating rotor with a hollow vane core that sheds weight and opens up internal airflow, pulling heat out of the friction surface faster than a solid equivalent. Lower rotating mass at the rear axle means quicker response and less inertia for the brakes and suspension to fight. The kit is engineered specifically for the rear of the car and supplied as a matched pair, where a bolt-on caliper and disc package raises clamping force and cooling without disturbing the factory hydraulics. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds cover the spread from quiet road use through to track sessions, and the caliper ships 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, so the upgrade can sit hidden behind the wheel or read as intent.

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.
