XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Aston Martin RAPIDE S (2013-2026)

The Rapide S carries its mass unlike the two-door Astons it shares a platform with: a four-door body, four seats, and a rear-mounted transaxle put real weight over the back axle of a near two-tonne grand tourer. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Aston Martin Rapide S goes after the half of the braking equation most owners overlook, the rear end that has to keep a long body composed as you wash off speed from a motorway cruise.

This is a rear-axle kit, a matched pair of left and right rear calipers and two-piece floating discs, sized to match the front for heat capacity and pad bite, so the Rapide S settles squarely rather than nervously under hard deceleration. The hollow-vane disc core trims rotating mass at the back of the car, where reducing unsprung weight pays back in composure on a GT that spends most of its life covering ground quickly.

What this brake kit does for your 2013-2026 Aston Martin Rapide S

After fitting, the first thing you feel on the Rapide S is a firmer, more linear pedal as you brush the brakes into a roundabout or a motorway slip road. Stronger, more consistent rear braking also holds the Rapide S stable under trail braking, where a long-wheelbase saloon otherwise feels its weight pitch forward.

Pad compound sets the rear axle’s character to how you actually use the car. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily refinement. Sport sharpens bite on a fast B-road and copes with the odd track day. Racing is the full track compound for the owner who takes a heavy four-door onto a circuit and needs the rear to keep taking heat. With the included caliper finishes, from a discreet Anodized Black through Yellow and Gold, and any Pantone as a Custom Color, the hardware reads as intentional behind the wheels rather than an afterthought.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is XYZ Racing’s two-piece floating-disc approach to upgrading the back axle of a fast, heavy car. The hollow-vane core removes material from the rotor where it contributes least to thermal capacity, cutting rotating and unsprung mass at the rear without losing swept area. Calipers clamp pads offered across Street, Sport and Racing compounds, so one set of hardware spans refined road use and repeated heavy stops on track.

Disc face is drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades, two-tone anodizing in five colours or titanium, are selectable when you order. The engineering priority is consistency as the discs warm: keeping rear pad bite predictable under load, which is exactly what a two-tonne grand tourer demands of its back axle. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, finished in the included Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with any Pantone available as a Custom Color and premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver or candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. A Hollow Racing caliper, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty, is there for serious track use.
