XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Volkswagen T4 VAN (1990-2003)

Load a T4 up as a camper or run it as a working panel van and the weight stacks over the rear axle, which is exactly where Volkswagen’s standard braking starts to struggle on a long, loaded descent. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Volkswagen T4 VAN (1990-2003) fits a larger rear setup behind the back wheels to deal with that mass without cooking the pads.

This is a rear-axle kit, so it works with your front brakes to bring balance back to a van that spends its life heavy. Hollow-vane discs shed heat and unsprung weight, and three pad compounds let you match the kit to anything from a daily day van to a fully loaded tourer heading down an Alpine pass.

What this big brake kit does for your 1990-2003 Volkswagen T4 VAN

The most obvious gain is consistency when the T4 is laden. Hollow-vane discs run cooler than a solid equivalent, so the rear end keeps biting on repeated stops instead of going soft halfway down a hill or under braking with a trailer on the back. The lighter disc also trims unsprung mass at the rear, which helps the back axle settle over poor surfaces. Choose the Racing compound and the pedal firms up noticeably for harder use; stick with Street or Sport and you keep an easy, progressive feel for everyday town and motorway running. A full range of caliper colours means the kit can disappear behind the wheels or stand out on a show-spec build.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit takes its name from its discs, cast with internal hollow vanes to cut weight and open up more surface for heat to escape, and it is supplied as a matched left-and-right pair. On a vehicle as heavy as the T4, that thermal headroom is the point: a rear disc that stays cooler resists the fade that turns a long, loaded descent into a nervous one. The two-piece floating discs run on an uprated caliper that is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for the hardest-worked vans that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. XYZ Racing offers the kit with three pad compounds – Street for everyday running, Sport for harder road use, and Racing for the hottest work – so the friction material suits how the van is actually driven. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. Caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with Custom Color in any Pantone, polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold or Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red or Orange for a tidy build. It is a rear-axle kit, designed to be paired with a matched front setup rather than run on its own.
