XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Volkswagen TIGUAN MK1 (12 POINTS 6.8MM) (2008-2013)

The Tiguan MK1 puts roughly 1.6 tonnes of tall, PQ35-based SUV on the road, and that mass lands hardest on the rear axle when the car is loaded with passengers, luggage or a trailer on the towbar. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit swaps the standard rear discs and calipers on the 2008-2013 Tiguan for hollow-vane discs matched to the 12-point, 6.8mm rear hub specification, adding thermal headroom exactly where a heavy family SUV tends to run short of it.

It is a rear-axle upgrade aimed at the way a Tiguan actually gets used: long motorway descents fully laden, stop-start towing, and the heat soak that builds when a tall body leans on its brakes repeatedly. Choose Street, Sport or Racing pad compounds to match road, fast-road or harder duty, and a caliper finish to suit the rest of the car.

What this brake kit does for your 2008-2013 Volkswagen Tiguan MK1

Fit it and the first thing you feel is a firmer, more repeatable rear bite under hard or sustained braking. The hollow-vane disc sheds rotating and unsprung mass at each rear corner, helping the rear axle settle faster over mid-corner bumps and bleed off speed without the wooden, fading pedal a loaded Tiguan can develop on a long descent. The three pad compounds let you set rear balance to your driving: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily duty, Sport adds bite and heat range for warmer fast-road work, and Racing handles the hardest, most heat-soaked stops. Because the kit is rear-specific, it complements rather than overwhelms the Tiguan’s nose-led braking split, keeping the back end stable as weight transfers forward under load. A full range of caliper colours, including a custom option, means the look behind the rear wheels matches the build.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow Rear Brake Kit is built around lightweight hollow-vane discs that cut rotating mass while keeping enough swept area to manage heat on a heavy SUV rear axle, and it is supplied as a matched left-and-right pair. The two-piece floating discs are dimensioned to the Tiguan’s 12-point, 6.8mm rear hub fitment, so the upgrade bolts to the factory mounting rather than asking for bracketry guesswork. The caliper is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for the hardest-worked cars that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The caliper clamps the disc through one of three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – so the same hardware can be specified for a daily car, a fast-road setup or harder repeated-stop use. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. Finish is chosen from 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. Every part of the kit targets the rear of the car specifically, addressing heat capacity and pedal consistency at the axle that does the supporting work rather than the bulk of the stopping.

Fitment for the Volkswagen Tiguan MK1 (2008-2013)

This kit is cut for the Volkswagen Tiguan MK1 across the 2008 to 2013 model years, in the 12-point, 6.8mm rear hub specification called out in the product name. It is a rear-axle kit only. Confirm your car matches that rear disc and hub spec before ordering, as the Tiguan ran more than one rear setup over its life.
