XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Audi A5 8T SPORTBACK QUATTRO (TYPE II) (2011-2016)

The B8-platform A5 Sportback hangs its longitudinal engine ahead of the front axle, so the standard quattro brake balance leans hard on the fronts while the rears are left comparatively undersized for sustained work. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Audi A5 8T Sportback Quattro (type II) addresses that, adding rear stopping capacity and thermal headroom exactly where the factory setup runs short.

Two-piece floating discs shed unsprung mass and vent heat faster than a solid rear rotor, which counts on a 1,600kg-plus fastback that asks its brakes to scrub speed repeatedly. Pad compound is yours to pick, from a quiet Street friction level to a full Racing compound for circuit days.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2016 Audi A5 8T Sportback Quattro (type II)

On the road you feel it as a firmer, more progressive pedal and a car that settles under braking instead of diving onto its nose. Push harder, with repeated heavy stops or back-to-back braking zones on track, and the two-piece floating discs hold temperature where the original rear brakes would begin to fade. The Street pad keeps daily refinement and low dust, the Sport compound bites harder from cold, and the Racing compound keeps its friction at the temperatures a tracked quattro generates. More capable rear brakes also let you trail-brake deeper into a corner, since the rear axle can take load the front would otherwise carry alone.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The rear brake kit is built around a two-piece floating disc, where material is removed from within the rotor to cut rotating and unsprung weight without giving up swept area. Less mass at the wheel sharpens response and eases the demand on the suspension, while the vented sections aid airflow and heat dissipation under repeated use. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard to keep weight down, with an optional Hollow Racing build for circuit use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Discs are paired with your chosen pad compound, offered in Street, Sport and Racing friction levels so the brake can be matched to road, fast-road or circuit use. Included painted caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, so the setup reads cleanly behind an open wheel. It is a rear-axle kit, a matched pair of rear calipers and discs with braided lines, designed to work alongside the front brakes to set overall balance rather than act in isolation.
