XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 1 SERIES E 87 130 (OE185) (2004-2011)

The E87 130i is the rare rear-drive hot hatch: a 265bhp N52 straight-six slung ahead of the front axle with drive sent to the back. That weight bias piles load onto the front under braking and leaves the rear axle comparatively light, which is exactly why the back end of a 130i deserves more than its standard discs. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the BMW 1 Series E87 130 (OE185) goes after that rear-axle shortfall directly.

This is a rear big brake kit for owners who use the 130i the way the chassis invites, with quick B-roads, the odd track day, and hard trail-braking into slow corners. The two-piece floating disc trims unsprung mass and sheds heat faster, so the rear stays composed when you are leaning on the brakes stop after stop.

What this big brake kit does for your 2004-2011 Bmw 1 Series E 87 130 (oe185)

On the road you get a firmer, more progressive pedal and a rear axle that settles quicker once you come off the brakes. The larger rear discs give the chassis more thermal headroom, so feel holds up across a sequence of hard stops instead of going long and vague. Run the Racing pad compound and the rear bites harder under trail-braking, helping the 130i rotate into a corner rather than wash wide at the front; the Sport compound covers spirited road work, while the Street compound keeps fast-road bite up with noise and dust held to sensible levels. Behind the rear wheels, the calipers fill the gap in your chosen finish.

About the Rear Brake Kit

This is a bolt-on rear upgrade matched to the E87 hub and handbrake arrangement, not a universal one-size part, and it is supplied as a matched pair of left and right rear calipers and discs. The two-piece floating disc construction takes weight out of the rotating assembly and opens up paths for heat to escape, which is what keeps rear temperatures in check during repeat use; the hollow-vane disc comes drilled or slotted at the same price, on braided lines. The forged caliper is hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, 1000C rated, two-year warranty) for track sessions. Three pad compounds are offered: Street for low-dust road manners, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing for the circuit. 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. It is a rear-specific kit, so it pairs with a front setup rather than acting alone.
