Caliper render for this kit:

At more than two tonnes, the C254 GLC 43 Coupe leans hard on its rear axle every time you scrub speed from a motorway cruise or a quick B-road. The 4MATIC layout moves load around under power and recovers it under braking, and the factory rear discs were sized for road manners rather than repeated heavy stops. This is where the XYZ Racing Rear Big Brake Kit earns its place on the 2023-2026 GLC 43 Coupe.
Built around two-piece floating discs that trim rotating and unsprung mass, the kit gives the rear of this Mercedes Benz performance SUV more thermal headroom and a firmer, more progressive pedal. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and rear discs, it leaves pad compound to you, Street, Sport or Racing, depending on whether the car sees daily duty, fast roads, or the occasional circuit day.
What this brake kit does for your 2023-2026 Mercedes Benz GLC 43 Coupe 4matic C254
The first thing you notice is bite. The discs come up to temperature quickly and shed heat faster than the standard items, so the pedal stays firm through a sequence of hard stops instead of going long and vague. On a heavy 4MATIC coupe, that sinking-pedal fade tends to announce itself first at the rear, and this kit pushes that threshold well back. Cutting rotating mass at the rear axle also takes a little strain off the bearings and hubs and tidies up how the car settles into a corner. Fit the Racing compound for repeat track stops, the Sport compound for hard fast-road use and a wider heat range, or Street for quiet, low-dust daily braking. A composed rear axle keeps front-and-rear balance predictable when you brake deep into a turn.
About the rear big brake kit
XYZ Racing’s rear big brake kit is a direct rear-axle upgrade aimed at performance road and track use. It uses two-piece floating discs that remove material without giving up swept area, lowering rotating mass and helping the brakes run cooler under sustained load; the ring is offered drilled or slotted at the same price. The kit ships with three pad compounds: Street for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for harder road work and a wider heat range, and Racing for circuit use, so the same hardware suits very different driving. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, rated to 1000C, two-year warranty) for serious track use. Painted caliper colours come at no cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black; a Custom Color in any Pantone is 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. Everything is sized specifically for the rear of this car rather than adapted from a generic kit, which keeps the balance sensible on a machine as nose-heavy as the GLC 43.

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.
