XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Audi RS5 (TYPE I) (2010-2015)

The Type I RS5’s 4.2 FSI V8 sits well forward of the front axle, and that long, nose-heavy layout works the front brakes hard while leaving the rear axle to manage stability and balance under deceleration. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Audi RS5 (type I) builds rear thermal capacity to match a front upgrade, so the car stays composed rather than nervous when you brake hard from three-figure speeds.

Audi’s quattro coupe is a heavy, fast GT that carries the sport differential on this axle, and repeated hard stops on a circuit will heat-soak standard rear discs long before the chassis runs short of grip. The two-piece floating disc trims rotating mass at each rear corner, and the kit holds a firm, consistent pedal through a full session instead of going long and soft as temperatures climb.

What this brake kit does for your 2010-2015 Audi RS5 (TYPE I)

After fitting, the most obvious change is brake balance: a stronger, more thermally stable rear end stops the front axle doing all the work, which keeps the heavy RS5 settled into a corner under trail-braking. The three pad compound options let you match the car to its job, with the Street and Sport compounds for fast-road use where cold bite and low dust matter, and the Racing compound for track days where you need friction that survives heat. Reduced rotating mass at the rear wheels also takes a little weight off the suspension’s job, sharpening how the rear axle reacts over kerbs and bumps. Braided lines hold a firm pedal under load. The result is a pedal you can lean on repeatedly rather than one that fades as the discs soak.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The kit is built around a two-piece floating disc with hollow internal vanes, which removes material to cut rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle while keeping the swept area needed to shed heat. The forged caliper is hollow-bodied as standard. It is a rear-specific kit, designed to partner a front big brake upgrade so the car’s overall braking balance stays correct rather than front-biased. Pads come in three compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware covers a daily-driven RS5 and a car that sees regular circuit time. Calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone finish available, so the kit can sit discreetly behind the wheels or stand out as part of the build. Braided lines are included, discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to two-tone anodized in five colours or titanium. The engineering priority is consistent friction and resistance to fade under the repeated high-energy stops this 1.7-tonne-plus coupe generates.

Fitment for the Audi RS5 (TYPE I) (2010-2015)

This kit is specific to the rear axle of the Audi RS5 (type I) built between 2010 and 2015. It is a direct application for the first-generation RS5 coupe across that year span, a pair of rear calipers and discs. Confirm your build year before ordering to be certain of the correct rear fitment.
