XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bentley CONTINENTAL GT V8 MK1 (6 points 8.0 MM) (2003-2011)

Hauling a 2.3-tonne all-wheel-drive grand tourer down from a three-figure motorway cruise asks more of the rear axle than the standard hardware was ever truly comfortable with. The first-generation Continental GT carries a vast amount of mass over its driven rear wheels, and on repeated heavy stops, whether a fast B-road, a hilly descent or a track day in something this size, the factory rear brakes fade and the pedal goes long. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Bentley Continental GT V8 MK1 (6 Points 8.0 MM) is built to absorb and shed that heat without surrendering bite.

It is a direct rear-axle upgrade for the 2003-2011 car, pairing a forged caliper with a two-piece floating disc to cut unsprung and rotating weight while raising thermal headroom. The result is a firmer, more consistent rear end under braking on a chassis that, left standard, leans heavily on its fronts.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2011 Bentley Continental GT V8 MK1

On the road you feel it first as a higher, harder pedal that does not sink as the discs warm. The forged caliper clamps with more even pressure across a larger pad, so the rear axle does its proper share of the work and the car stays settled under hard deceleration rather than nose-diving. The two-piece floating disc reduces rotating mass, which sharpens response and lets the rear brakes recover faster between stops. Pad compound is your call: Street for refined daily use, Sport for firmer fast-road bite, Racing for sustained track abuse. Across all three the gain is the same, with braking the Continental GT able to repeat without the fade that blights a heavy GT on the original setup.

About the Rear Brake Kit

The kit is supplied as a matched pair of left and right rear calipers and discs. Its lightweight two-piece floating rotor, in the 6-point, 8.0 mm pattern quoted in the part reference, is machined to remove material and weight where it does not contribute to stopping power, lowering both rotating inertia and the thermal mass the system has to manage. The hollow-vane disc gives the rear something with real heat capacity to work against, fed by braided lines for a firm pedal. The forged caliper is hollow-body as standard; an optional Hollow Racing upgrade adds a no-dust-cover build rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty for harder use. Three pad compounds are offered, Street, Sport and Racing, so the kit can be specced for a refined road car or a hard-driven one. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. Included painted caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for a small upcharge, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) finishes. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, are selectable at checkout, so the brake hardware can be matched to the car behind the wheels.
