XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 3 SERIES E 36 320 (1990-1998)

The E36 chassis put a proper multi-link rear axle under the 3 Series for the first time, and on a 320i that balance is the whole appeal: a willing front end and a rear that rotates when you ask it to. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit is built to keep that back axle composed under repeated heavy braking, so the car settles rather than skips when you trail the pedal into a corner.

This is a rear-axle upgrade for the 1990-1998 320, supplied as a left-and-right pair and aimed at adding heat capacity and pedal consistency where the standard rear discs go soft after a few hard stops. Match it to a front upgrade and you get a brake balance that holds its shape on a fast road run or a track day, instead of washing out to the rear under load.

What this brake kit does for your 1990-1998 BMW 3 Series E36 320

Fit it and the first thing you feel is a firmer, more predictable rear pedal that does not go long after the third or fourth stop. The two-piece floating disc carries a hollow-vane rotor that sheds heat faster than the solid factory rear rotors and trims a little unsprung weight at each rear corner, which the E36’s multi-link axle appreciates over mid-corner bumps. With Street pads the car stays civil and low on dust for daily use; step up to the Racing compound and the rear axle keeps biting through a full session without the spongy, overheated feel that ends most track outings early, with the Sport compound covering hard road and the odd track lap. The result is a 320 that stops square and stays planted, letting you brake later without the tail stepping out unexpectedly.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit replaces the standard setup with a larger two-piece disc and a hollow-body performance caliper sized for the rear axle of the E36 and supplied as a pair. The hollow-vane rotor increases the surface area exposed to airflow, so heat builds more slowly and clears faster between stops. That matters at the back, where a smaller contact patch and lighter braking duty mean a fading rear can quietly upset the balance long before the fronts give up. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to use: Street for quiet everyday driving, Sport for spirited road work, and Racing for circuit sessions. Disc faces can be specified drilled or slotted at the same price. The caliper ships painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged or candy finishes, plus a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, so it suits a sleeper or a show car equally.
