XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Toyota CENTURY (GZ G50) (1997-2016)

The G50 Century is a near-two-tonne V12 limousine built to glide rather than to stop hard, and its factory rear brakes were tuned for the same hushed, chauffeur-led calm as the rest of the car. Add the mass of that 5.0-litre 1GZ-FE up front, a long motorway descent and a 25-year-old comfort-biased setup, and the standard rear brakes start to feel their age. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Toyota Century (GZ G50) gives the rear axle the thermal headroom and bite a heavy rear-drive flagship needs in 2026.

It is a rear-axle upgrade aimed at owners keeping these rare V12 saloons usable rather than parked: better repeat-stop consistency, a firmer pedal, and pad options to suit how the car is actually driven. The kit is supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and two-piece floating discs.

What this big brake kit does for your 1997-2016 Toyota Century (GZ G50)

Fit it and the first thing you notice is a rear end that settles under braking instead of running out of bite on the second or third hard stop. The larger rotor and uprated caliper add heat capacity, which matters on a car this heavy when you are hauling its V12 mass down from speed. Three pad compounds let you match the rear axle to a quiet daily limousine with the Street pad, a faster road car with the Sport pad, or harder use with the Racing compound, without touching the rest of the system. The two-piece floating disc also drops unsprung mass so the dampers stay composed. The payoff is more confident brake balance and a pedal that stays firm rather than going soft as the kilometres pile up.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The "Hollow" name points to a hollow-vane rotor design that sheds rotating and unsprung mass while keeping the swept area needed to soak up heat. The kit pairs that two-piece floating disc with a fixed multi-piston caliper, braided lines and the mounting hardware specific to the Century’s rear hubs. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty for harder use.

Caliper finishes run to Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone, premium polished-forged finishes in titanium, polished gold or polished silver, and candy finishes in teal, blue, red or orange, so the hardware can stay discreet behind the Century’s factory wheels or stand out on a modernised build. Compound choice is the real tuning lever: Street for stock-feel road use, Sport for a sharper everyday bite, and Racing for sustained heat. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to two-tone anodized in five colours or titanium. Everything is sized around the rear position, so it complements the front axle rather than overwhelming it.
