XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Nissan SILVIA S13 (WITH DRUM) (OE172) (1989-1994)

The drum-braked S13 carries a known weak spot at the back axle: the factory rear drums run short on consistent bite and handbrake authority long before the chassis itself gives up. On a car this light and this eager to rotate, that shortfall shows up the moment you start leaning on it. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit exists to close that gap, converting the rear of the 1989-1994 Nissan Silvia S13 (with Drum) (OE172) to a proper disc setup.

For a chassis that built its reputation on adjustability and rear-end control, swapping drums for a disc-based big brake kit is one of the more meaningful upgrades you can make. Supplied as a matched pair of left and right rear corners, it sharpens the back end’s response and gives the handbrake a far more usable, repeatable feel, which matters whether you are managing rotation on a B-road or initiating cleanly on a skid pad.

What this brake kit does for your 1989-1994 Nissan Silvia S13

After fitting, the most obvious change is consistency: a disc rear holds its bite when a drum would already be fading, so the pedal stays predictable through repeated hard stops. The handbrake gains real clamping authority, exactly what an S13 owner wants for controlled lock-up. Pad compound is your lever for matching the car to its job: the Street compound is the quiet, low-dust everyday default, the Sport compound adds a sharper initial response for fast-road use with occasional track, and the Racing compound is there when the rear is being worked hard and heat is the enemy. The hollow-vane two-piece floating disc trims rotating mass and expands evenly under heat instead of coning, and it comes drilled or slotted at the same price. Included caliper finishes at no extra cost run from Red and Gold through to Anodized Black, letting the kit suit a clean OEM-plus look or a louder build.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is a bolt-on rear disc conversion engineered specifically for S13 variants that left the factory with drums. It replaces the drum assembly with a two-piece floating disc, hollow-body caliper and bracketry package, bringing the back axle in line with the front and giving you a balanced, modern braking platform. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with a two-tone centre bell in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout. The kit is offered with three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware can be tuned for daily commuting, spirited road work, or harder track and drift use. Included caliper finishes at no extra cost are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black; a Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy options in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. A Hollow Racing caliper is available for hard use, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. The focus throughout is on repeatable performance and proper handbrake function, the two things drum-equipped S13s most want for.
