XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz CLK 200 W209 (2003-2009)

The W209 CLK was built to cover ground in comfort, and its standard rear brakes were specified for exactly that: a relaxed rear-drive grand tourer, not a car driven hard into the braking zone. Push a CLK 200 Kompressor along a quick B-road or onto a track day and the rear axle is the first place the factory setup runs out of ideas. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz CLK 200 W209 addresses that directly, swapping the rear discs for lighter two-piece floating rotors and adding a multi-piston caliper with a proper pad choice.

This is a rear-axle upgrade, so it works on brake balance rather than outright front stopping power. On a rear-wheel-drive coupe like the W209, sorting the rear gives you a more stable, predictable car under trail-braking and repeated stops, which is where the standard CLK 200 brakes tend to go soft.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2009 Mercedes Benz CLK 200 W209

After fitting, the first thing you feel on your 2003-2009 Mercedes Benz CLK 200 W209 is a firmer, more linear pedal: the multi-piston caliper clamps more evenly than the single-piston rear it replaces. The two-piece floating disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at the back axle, which sharpens how quickly the rear responds and eases the load on the suspension. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match rear bite to how you actually use the car, from daily commuting to harder circuit sessions. And because the rear no longer overheats and fades on a long descent or a busy track, brake balance stays consistent when it matters.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The kit centres on a two-piece floating rear disc whose friction ring rides on an alloy bell and runs internal vanes to cut weight while keeping thermal capacity, so it heats and sheds heat more efficiently than a solid equivalent. Paired with a hollow-body forged multi-piston caliper as standard, it gives the W209 a more progressive, fade-resistant rear end than the original equipment. The kit is offered with three pad compounds: Street for road use, Sport for fast-road and mixed driving with occasional track, and Racing for circuit work. Painted calipers come in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for a small upcharge and premium polished-forged or candy finishes, so the kit reads cleanly behind the CLK’s factory or aftermarket wheels. Everything is sized to the rear axle of this chassis rather than adapted from a generic part, which keeps fitment and brake bias correct.
