XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Audi A6 C7 2WD (TYPE I) (2012-2018)

The C7-generation A6 in 2WD form hangs its longitudinal engine ahead of the front axle, so the rear contributes a smaller share of braking than the nose does. That makes the rear axle easy to overlook, right up until a fast B-road descent or a track session reveals the standard rear discs heat-soaking and the pedal travelling long. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Audi A6 C7 2WD (TYPE I) addresses exactly that weak point.

Specified for 2012-2018 cars, it adds thermal capacity and bite where the factory rear setup runs out of room. Two-piece floating discs trim rotating mass, and a choice of Street, Sport or Racing pad compounds lets you match the rear axle to how hard you actually drive.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Audi A6 C7 2WD (TYPE I)

On a saloon this heavy, rear brake fade shows up as a soft, travelling pedal and a nose-down attitude under repeated stops. The two-piece floating disc gives the rear axle more surface area to shed heat, so the pedal stays firm through a sequence of hard stops. Stepping up to the Sport or Racing compound sharpens initial bite and raises the fade threshold for track-day work, while the Street compound keeps a daily-driven A6 quiet and clean with low dust. Better rear thermal stability also helps the car rotate more honestly on turn-in rather than washing into understeer. Selectable caliper finishes, from the included painted colours through to premium polished and candy options, mean the upgrade reads behind the wheels as clearly as it does through the pedal.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The rear brake kit is XYZ Racing’s answer to a heavy front-engined A6 whose rear brakes were specified for normal road use rather than sustained hard driving. The two-piece floating disc removes material from the rotor to cut rotating mass without surrendering thermal capacity, which sharpens how quickly the rear axle responds. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard to keep weight down, with an optional Hollow Racing build for sustained high-temperature use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds are offered: a Street compound for quiet, low-dust everyday driving, a Sport compound for spirited road work, and a Racing compound built to resist fade under sustained high-temperature 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. As a rear-axle setup, a matched pair of rear calipers and discs with braided lines, it is designed to pair with a matching front kit or to rebalance braking bias toward a car that sees more track and fast-road use than the original specification allowed for.

Fitment for the Audi A6 C7 2WD (TYPE I) (2012-2018)

This kit is specified for the C7 A6 in 2WD (TYPE I) form, covering model years 2012 to 2018, and fits the rear axle only. Confirm your car is the front-driven 2WD chassis rather than a quattro variant before ordering, since the two carry different rear hardware.
