Caliper render for this kit:
The XA30 RAV4 carries its mass high and forward, and on a long Pennine descent or a fully loaded motorway run the standard rear setup runs out of bite before you do. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Toyota RAV4 (XA30) tackles that directly, adding a larger, lighter rear disc and a fixed caliper to a chassis that was never given much rear braking authority from the factory.
This is rear-axle hardware built for repeat stops under load: the family-and-luggage reality of how a third-generation RAV4 actually gets used, and the harder work asked of the quicker V6 cars. Supplied as a left-and-right rear pair, pad compound runs from Street through Sport to a full Racing compound, so the kit scales from school-run duty to genuine fast-road and track heat.
What this brake kit does for your 2005-2012 Toyota RAV4 (XA30)
On the road you feel it as a firmer, more progressive rear pedal and a brake balance that no longer leans entirely on the front axle. The two-piece floating disc strips rotational and unsprung mass from the rear corners, which sharpens how the RAV4 settles under braking and takes load off the dampers mid-stop. Repeat heavy stops, down an alpine pass or hauling a trailer, hold their feel instead of going long and wooden. Step up to the Racing compound and the rear stays composed through a sequence of hard braking zones that would overheat a tired OE setup, with the Sport compound covering fast-road bite in between. A wide caliper-finish range, from Red and Gold to a Custom Pantone, lets the hardware match the car it sits behind.
About the Big Brake Kit
The kit runs a hollow-body caliper as standard, cast with internal voids to cut weight at the corner while staying rigid. The disc is a lightened, vented two-piece floating construction that cuts mass without surrendering thermal capacity, so the rear corner gains stopping power and loses weight at the same time. The fixed caliper clamps a larger-diameter rotor than the factory rear, raising braking torque and spreading heat across more pad area. Three pad compounds cover the spread of use cases: a Street compound for quiet daily running, a Sport compound for fast-road bite with sane cold performance, and a Racing compound for sustained high-temperature work. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells, and a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C is offered for the hardest use. Each painted caliper ships in a choice of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged and candy finishes. Because this is a rear-axle kit, it is designed to complement a front upgrade and restore front-to-rear balance rather than overpower it.

Choosing your spec
Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.
Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing
Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.
Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.
Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing
Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.
Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 330–356mm (rear). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.
Caliper colour & finish
Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).
Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.
Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).
Centre bells
The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
