XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Skoda OCTAVIA RS MK3 (5E) (2013-2019)

On the MK3 Octavia RS, the front axle carries the engine, the gearbox and the lion’s share of the braking load, which leaves the rear doing comparatively little until the exact moment you need it most. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the Skoda Octavia RS MK3 (5E) tackles that imbalance directly, giving the back axle the thermal headroom and bite to actually contribute under hard, repeated stops.

This is a rear-specific upgrade, a matched pair of rear calipers and two-piece floating discs, built to partner a front big brake kit rather than stand alone. On a 220-230 PS liftback or estate that pulls double duty as a daily and a weekend track car, getting the front-to-rear brake balance right is what keeps the nose-heavy MQB chassis from simply washing wide every time you lean on the pedal.

What this brake kit does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia RS MK3 (5E)

The two-piece floating discs strip rotating and unsprung mass from the rear corners, which the multi-link rear axle feels as crisper turn-in and less inertia to manage mid-corner. With more honest braking at the back, the Octavia rotates more willingly on entry instead of relying on the front tyres to do everything. Across a session of track laps the added thermal capacity resists the fade that sends a standard rear setup soft and long. Choose the Racing pad compound for circuit heat, Sport for fast-road bite that survives the commute, or Street for quiet daily manners, and the firmer, more progressive pedal makes trail-braking into a tightening corner far more predictable.

About the rear big brake kit

The kit replaces the rear discs and calipers as a matched assembly engineered to raise heat tolerance and shave weight from the rear of the car. The two-piece floating disc is the headline feature: its hollow-vane internal structure lowers rotating mass without sacrificing the swept area you need to shed speed from a heavy fast estate, and its floating mount lets the friction ring expand under heat without dragging its alloy bell out of true. Disc faces come drilled or slotted at the same price, chosen when you order. Three pad compounds are offered, Street for road use, Sport for spirited road and light track work, and Racing for sustained circuit abuse, so the kit can be specced to how the car is actually driven. The caliper bodies are hollow-cast as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Calipers come finished in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone match available, to suit the build behind the wheel. As a rear assembly it is intended to complement an uprated front setup and recover the brake balance a powerful FWD-based platform tends to lose once you start pushing.
