XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz CLS 53 AMG C257 (FOR OE WITH ELECTRONIC DAMPING CANCELLATION KIT) (2018-2026)

The C257 CLS 53 AMG carries close to 1.9 tonnes of four-door coupé over its rear axle, and the M256 straight-six with EQ Boost gives it the pace to use it. The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit replaces the factory rear setup with two-piece floating discs that cut rotating mass at the back wheels, where a long-wheelbase 4MATIC+ car needs steady, repeatable retardation rather than one heroic stop.

This is the rear half of a serious braking package for fast-road and circuit use. A larger, two-piece floating rotor and matched caliper give the back axle more thermal headroom, so the pedal stays consistent when the front brakes are loaded and the car’s mass is piling forward under heavy braking.

What this big brake kit does for your 2018-2026 Mercedes Benz CLS 53 AMG C257

On a 2018-2026 CLS 53 the change shows up first as a firmer initial bite and a pedal that does not go long after a run of hard stops. The two-piece floating disc sheds rotating mass at the rear wheels, sharpening how quickly the back axle responds and trimming a little unsprung weight from each corner. Three pad compounds let you set the kit to the car’s job: Street for everyday town and motorway miles, Sport for hard fast-road driving and the odd track day, and Racing for track sessions where the rear discs see sustained heat. Because the rear does meaningful work under heavy deceleration on a nose-heavy 4MATIC+ GT, a stronger back axle helps settle the car as weight transfers forward, holding the line straighter into a braking zone.

About the XYZ Racing hollow brake kit

This is a rear big brake upgrade built around a two-piece floating disc, a construction that removes material from the rotor to lower rotating and unsprung mass without giving up swept area and lets the friction ring float on an alloy bell as it heats. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard. The larger rear rotor and its matched caliper raise thermal capacity, which is what keeps brake feel stable across repeated stops rather than letting the pads and fluid heat-soak into fade. Pad compound is a build choice: Street, Sport and Racing options cover everything from daily commuting to track-day duty, so one set of hardware suits a road-biased CLS or a car that sees regular circuit time. Painted calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or 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 as a deliberate spec behind the wheels rather than a plain replacement. It is engineered as the rear element of a balanced front-and-rear system for cars running the OE electronic damping setup.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz CLS 53 AMG C257 (2018-2026)

This kit fits the Mercedes Benz CLS 53 AMG C257 across the 2018-2026 model years, in the variant specified for cars built with the OE electronic damping cancellation arrangement. Confirm your car is the C257 53 AMG and that it carries the factory electronic damping hardware before you order, so the rear kit matches your exact build.
