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

The B8 RS5’s mass sits stubbornly over the nose: a 4.2-litre FSI V8 hung ahead of the front axle line, feeding a quattro driveline that loads the front tyres hard and asks the rears to do the quieter, less glamorous work of keeping the car straight. On a fast road run that balance is fine. String together a few hot laps and the standard rear setup starts to show its limits, the discs heat-soaking and the pedal lengthening just as you need it to stay firm.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Audi RS5 (TYPE II) targets exactly that. It is a rear-axle upgrade built to add thermal headroom and a more consistent bite to a heavy, naturally aspirated coupe that gets driven harder than its GT looks suggest.

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

On a 1700kg-plus quattro coupe, brake balance is everything, and the rear axle’s job is stability under trail braking and repeated stops. This kit gives the back end more heat capacity so the pedal stays high and predictable after successive heavy applications, rather than going soft as the standard discs saturate. Pad compound is your call: a Street compound for quiet, low-dust road use, a Sport compound for spirited fast-road and the occasional track session, or a full Racing compound when the RS5 is a regular circuit car. Braided lines keep the pedal firm as the fluid warms. The result is a rear axle that supports the front under braking instead of unsettling it, with cleaner modulation as you bleed off the pedal into a corner.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

This is a position-specific rear kit, supplied to suit the B8 RS5’s rear hubs and its electromechanical parking brake arrangement. The two-piece floating disc is built to shed heat and unsprung mass at the rear axle, where reducing rotating weight sharpens turn-in response and helps the suspension keep the rear tyres planted. The forged caliper is hollow-bodied as standard. Three pad compounds are offered, Street, Sport and Racing, so the kit can be specified for road, fast-road or racing duty rather than forcing one fixed character. Caliper finishes include Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, plus a custom Pantone option, so the hardware behind the wheel spokes matches the rest of the build. Braided lines are included, discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell upgrades to two-tone anodized in five colours or titanium. The engineering priority throughout is consistent, fade-resistant rear braking that complements a front-biased chassis.
