XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC C167 (2019-2026)

The C167 GLE Coupe hides its mass well on the road, but physics does not care how composed it feels: this is a 2.3-tonne AWD body, and under hard, repeated braking from motorway speed the rear axle does far more work than most owners assume. The 53 AMG’s M256 straight-six and 48V boost make it quick enough to find the limit of the standard rears on a fast B-road or a single track session, and once the factory discs heat-soak the pedal starts to go long.

This XYZ Racing Rear Big Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC C167 (2019-2026) is built to add thermal headroom at the back axle without upsetting the car’s front-biased balance. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and rear discs, it uses a two-piece floating disc to shed rotating and unsprung weight, and the pad compound choice lets you match the rear to how you actually drive.

What this brake kit does for your 2019-2026 Mercedes Benz GLE 53 AMG 4 MATIC C167

After fitting, the first thing you feel is a firmer, more consistent pedal that holds its bite as the discs get hot, the difference between a confident third hard stop and a soft one. The two-piece floating disc trims rotating mass at each rear corner, which sharpens turn-in and eases the load on the C167’s rear suspension. With three pad compounds to choose from, Street, Sport and Racing, you can set the rear up for quiet daily road use, spirited fast-road work with a wider heat range, or sustained track heat, all without changing the hardware. On a heavy 4MATIC coupe that leans on its brakes harder than any lighter saloon would, that extra rear capacity turns straight into braking confidence and keeps front-and-rear balance composed.

About the rear big brake kit

The kit is built around a two-piece floating disc: material is removed from the rotor’s internal structure to cut rotating and unsprung weight while keeping a large, vented swept area for heat management, and the ring can be drilled or slotted at the same price. It is a rear-axle big brake kit, engineered to complement a front upgrade or to restore balance on a car that punishes its rear pads in stop-start performance driving. Three pad compounds are offered: Street for quiet, low-dust road manners, Sport for harder fast-road use and a wider heat range, and Racing for repeated high-temperature track sessions, so the same caliper and disc can be tuned to the task. 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 finishes are included 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 also available. The outcome is a rear brake package matched to the weight and pace of the GLE 53 AMG rather than a one-size fitment.
