XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Volvo V60 MK2 (2018-2026)

The V60 MK2 puts more weight over its rear axle than its low-slung estate roofline lets on. Built on Volvo’s SPA platform and sold in heavy T8 Recharge plug-in form – battery pack and rear-mounted electric motor sitting right where the load already goes – this is a 1,900kg-plus wagon that asks its rear brakes to do real work, not just trim the nose under braking. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit gives that back axle the thermal headroom a fast estate of this mass actually needs.

There is a second problem unique to the hybrid V60s: regenerative braking does most of the slowing in town, so the friction discs sit cold and underused, then get asked to haul the whole car down from motorway speed with a boot full of luggage. This kit is sized for exactly that duty cycle – rear braking on a loaded, heavy Volvo V60 MK2 that spends its life between school run and three-lane cruising.

What this brake kit does for your 2018-2026 Volvo V60 MK2

The hollow-vane, cross-drilled disc sheds heat faster and carries less rotating mass than the OE rear setup, so pedal feel stays firm when you brake repeatedly down a loaded descent or trail the car into a roundabout at pace. Three pad compounds let you match the rear axle to how you drive: Street for quiet, low-dust daily manners, Sport for firmer fast-road bite, and Racing for sustained track temperatures. On a Polestar Engineered or T8 Recharge V60, where the rear motor adds unsprung consequence, the lighter disc helps the back axle settle sooner over broken UK B-roads.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow series uses a cross-drilled, hollow-vane disc engineered to vent gas and dump heat through the rotor face rather than soaking it into the hub. The kit is a rear-axle assembly – caliper, two-piece floating discs and pads, supplied as a matched left-and-right pair – built to bolt to the V60 MK2’s existing rear mounting without re-engineering the corner. The caliper is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for repeat hard track stops that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The three-stage pad range covers everything from quiet, low-dust refinement to a Racing compound that tolerates repeat hard stops, with Sport in between for fast-road use. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. Calipers come finished in 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, so the upgrade reads as intent through the rear spokes rather than a hidden swap. It is designed to pair with the matching front kit for a balanced front-to-rear bias.

Fitment for the Volvo V60 MK2 (2018-2026)

This kit fits the second-generation Volvo V60 (MK2), model years 2018 to 2026, and mounts to the rear axle. It is a rear-specific assembly intended to complement, not replace, your front braking. Confirm your exact build year before ordering so the caliper and disc match your car.
