XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Opel VECTRA CD (1995-2002)

The Vectra B’s nose-heavy front-drive layout leaves the rear axle doing the lighter share of the braking work, and on a well-kept CD that imbalance shows up first as a soft, early-fading rear under repeated stops. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Opel Vectra CD (1995-2002) puts a larger, vented rear setup behind the back wheels to claw that balance back.

This is a fast-road and touring upgrade rather than a circuit weapon. As a rear kit it is a matched pair of left and right calipers and two uprated discs. The aim is firmer, more progressive rear bite and stopping power that stays consistent whether the car is a loaded estate or a motorway-cruising saloon. Pad compound runs from Street through Sport to Racing, so you can set the rear’s character to match how the car actually gets used.

What this rear brake kit does for your 1995-2002 Opel Vectra CD

Behind the wheel you feel it as a rear axle that finally pulls its weight. The larger rear discs give the back of the Vectra more thermal mass, so brake feel holds up across repeated stops instead of going long and wooden halfway down a fast B-road. Pedal travel stays shorter and more predictable, which matters most when the car is loaded – a full estate or a saloon with four up shifts braking effort rearward, and a stronger rear copes with it. Picking the Sport or Racing pad compound sharpens initial bite and lifts the fade threshold, while the Street compound keeps things quiet and undemanding for daily driving. The included caliper finishes, from Red and Yellow to Gold, Black or Anodized Black, let the hardware look the part behind a set of open wheels.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a bolt-on rear-axle upgrade, named for the hollow-vane disc design that trims rotating and unsprung mass at the back of the car. Less weight behind the rear wheels means the brakes heat-soak more slowly and the suspension has less mass to control, which helps both stopping consistency and ride composure over poor surfaces. The kit pairs uprated two-piece floating rear discs with XYZ Racing calipers and braided lines, so the face stays flat and the pedal stays firm as heat builds. Pad choice is yours: Street for quiet, dust-light daily driving, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing for the most aggressive bite and heat tolerance. Calipers are hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, rated 1000C, two-year warranty) for sustained heavy use. Painted caliper colours are included free in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black; a Custom Color in any Pantone is +£150, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange finishes available. Discs are drilled or slotted at the same price, and two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells can be specified at checkout. As a rear-axle kit it is meant to run alongside a matched front setup, so the car slows in balance rather than overloading either end.
