XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz GLC 250 X253/ C253 (agreement for purchasing notice is necessary) (2016-2026)

The X253 and C253 GLC 250 hide a lot of mass behind a comfort-tuned brake package, and on a heavy 4MATIC compact SUV the rear axle is the first place you feel it under sustained use. The XYZ Racing Rear Big Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz GLC 250 X253/ C253 tackles that directly, adding rear rotor and caliper capacity the standard hardware was never given much headroom for.

This is a rear-axle upgrade built around a two-piece floating disc that trims rotating and unsprung weight while lifting thermal capacity. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and rear discs, it translates, on the 2016-2026 GLC 250, to steadier pedal feel when the brakes are working hard, long descents, towing, or a committed run down a B-road, without unsettling the car’s everyday manners.

What this brake kit does for your 2016-2026 Mercedes Benz GLC 250 X253/ C253

On a vehicle this heavy, rear brake fade shows up as a longer, softer pedal after a handful of hard stops; the added thermal mass here keeps the bite consistent through repeated use. The hollow-vane disc strips rotating weight from each rear corner, which sharpens turn-in and eases the load the dampers carry over broken surfaces. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the rear axle to how you actually drive, from a quiet commute to circuit heat. A larger rear caliper improves clamping stability, giving the GLC’s stability and traction electronics a more predictable platform to manage, and keeping front-and-rear balance honest when the fronts would otherwise carry everything.

About the rear big brake kit

The kit is XYZ Racing’s route to more braking capacity without piling on weight. Its core is a two-piece floating disc, machined to cut rotating mass while retaining the friction surface area needed to absorb and shed heat; the ring is offered drilled or slotted at the same price. That rotor pairs with an uprated rear caliper and a choice of three friction compounds: Street for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for harder fast-road work and a wider heat range, and Racing for track conditions. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade available (no dust cover, rated to 1000C, two-year warranty) for serious track use. Painted caliper colours are included at no cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black; a Custom Color in any Pantone adds GBP 150, and premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver), candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) and two-tone or titanium centre bells are all available. The kit is designed as a bolt-on rear-axle solution, sized to the GLC’s hubs and mounting points rather than adapted from a universal pattern.
