XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 3 SERIES E 90 325 (OE160) (2006-2011)

The E90 325i loads its rear axle harder than the badge suggests, and the standard rear discs run short of thermal headroom the moment you start trail-braking into a circuit. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the BMW 3 Series E90 325 (OE160) targets exactly that shortfall, adding rear braking capacity and bias control to a chassis that rewards a settled back end.

This is a rear-axle upgrade for owners running fast-road or track miles in a 2006-2011 325, where repeat heavy stops expose the limits of the factory hardware. Supplied as a left-and-right pair, its two-piece floating discs trim rotating mass while the larger swept area gives the rear brakes something to hold onto when the fronts are working hardest.

What this big brake kit does for your 2006-2011 BMW 3 Series E90 325 (OE160)

Fit it and the first thing you notice is a firmer, more progressive rear pedal under hard braking, because the added thermal mass resists the fade that softens stock E90 rears after a few hot laps. The three pad compound options, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match friction level to how the car is used, from quiet, low-dust daily commuting to sustained circuit sessions. With more consistent rear bite, the 325 stays stable under trail-braking, holding its line into a corner instead of nudging wide as the rears overheat. For a rear-drive chassis, that recovered rear stopping power also helps the car rotate predictably rather than running out of retardation mid-stop.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The kit is built around a two-piece floating disc whose hollow-vane rotor removes material from the disc to cut rotating and unsprung mass without surrendering swept area. Less rotating weight at the rear axle means the brakes spin up and slow down more readily, sharpening response and easing the load on the rear suspension over kerbs and broken surfaces. The big brake format raises overall thermal capacity, so the rear discs shed heat faster and hold a stable friction level through repeated stops. Pad choice spans three compounds, Street for quiet road use, Sport for a harder fast-road bite, and Racing for circuit work, so the same hardware covers a wide spread of duty cycles. Disc faces can be drilled or slotted at the same price. Calipers come 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 to match the build, plus a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use.

Fitment for the BMW 3 Series E90 325 (2006-2011)

This kit is cut specifically for the rear axle of the E90 325 (OE160), covering the 2006 to 2011 production span and mounting as a left-and-right pair. It suits the rear-wheel-drive saloon carrying the 325 designation, so confirm your car matches the E90 325 OE160 reference before ordering. Only the rear axle is addressed here; pair it with the matching front kit for balanced bias.
