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

The C7 A6 carries a lot of its weight ahead of the front axle, and on the 2WD (TYPE II) cars that nose-heavy layout means the rear brakes spend most of their life as supporting players. Lean on them hard and often, though, with long descents, committed B-road work or the odd track day in a near-1,800kg saloon, and the standard rear setup runs short of thermal headroom before the fronts do.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Audi A6 C7 2WD (TYPE II) is built to put that balance back. It pairs a two-piece floating disc that trims rotating and unsprung mass with a choice of pad compounds, so the rear axle keeps contributing when the brakes get hot rather than fading into the background.

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

Fit this kit and the first thing you feel is a firmer, more progressive pedal that does not go long after a sequence of heavy stops. The two-piece floating disc carries less rotating mass than a solid equivalent, which sharpens response at the rear corners and eases the load the suspension manages over broken surfaces. On a front-biased car like the C7, adding genuine rear thermal capacity steadies the brake balance under trail-braking, so the back axle stays planted instead of letting the nose run wide. The three pad compounds let you match bite and friction to how you actually drive: Street for quiet road use, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing for sustained circuit sessions.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The kit centres on a two-piece floating disc: material is removed from within the rotor to cut rotating and unsprung weight while keeping the swept area needed to shed heat. Less mass spinning at each rear wheel means quicker response and lower thermal inertia, so the discs come up to temperature predictably and cool faster between stops. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard to keep weight down, with an optional Hollow Racing build for circuit work that removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. XYZ Racing offers the kit in three pad compounds, Street for road comfort and low dust, Sport for harder fast-road use, and Racing for circuit work, plus included painted caliper finishes in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, 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. It is a rear-axle kit, a matched pair of rear calipers and discs with braided lines, intended to complement a front upgrade and restore braking balance on the heavier C7 A6.
