XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Volkswagen GOLF 7 VARIANT 1.4T (2013-2020)

The Golf 7 Variant carries its weight differently from the hatch. The estate’s longer rear overhang and load deck sit more mass over the back axle, and on a 1.4T car the factory rear discs were sized for a lighter tail and modest power. Load the boot, add a few fast B-road descents, and the rear brakes are the first thing to fade.

This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Volkswagen GOLF 7 Variant 1.4T (2013-2020) goes after that imbalance. The hollow-vane disc strips rotating mass from the rear corners while adding swept area, so the back axle does more of the work and recovers heat faster between stops. It is the rear half of a balanced upgrade for an MQB estate that spends real time being driven hard.

What this brake kit does for your 2013-2020 Volkswagen GOLF 7 Variant 1.4T

After fitment you feel the rear axle settle under braking rather than skating. The hollow-vane discs lower the rotating mass at each rear wheel, which sharpens initial response and keeps pedal feel consistent when a loaded Variant is hauled down from speed repeatedly. Pad compound is your tuning lever: the Street compound suits quiet, low-dust daily driving, Sport steps up bite and heat tolerance for spirited road use with the heat range for the occasional track day, and Racing is there for track and hill work where rear stability matters. Caliper finish is yours to set behind the wheel, from the included Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black through to premium polished-forged, candy and custom Pantone options.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is built around a two-piece floating disc whose hollow-vane core cuts rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle without giving up thermal capacity. Less mass spinning at each corner means the brakes heat and shed heat more readily, which is what keeps the pedal honest through a sequence of stops. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for harder use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The kit ships with a choice of three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware covers a daily Variant or a car used for track days, and faces come drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper colour is selectable from the included Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with premium polished-forged and candy finishes or any Pantone as a custom colour. Everything is specified for the rear position only as a left-and-right pair, designed to pair with a matching front upgrade for a balanced front-to-rear bias.
