XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bmw 3 SERIES F 31 TOURING (OE161) (2012-2018)

The F31 Touring asks more of its rear axle than the saloon ever does. A longer roofline, the powered tailgate and whatever you have loaded behind the rear seats all add mass over and behind the back wheels, and that weight lands on the rear brakes every time you trail into a corner or scrub off motorway speed on a slip road. The standard rear discs cope with daily duty, but they fade once you start stringing together hard stops on a B-road blast or a track day.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit is built to take that punishment. It pairs a larger two-piece floating disc with a multi-piston rear caliper to give the back of the 3 Series the thermal headroom and clamping consistency the factory setup runs out of, while staying calibrated to work with the F31’s front balance rather than overpowering it.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Bmw 3 Series F 31 Touring (OE161)

After fitting, the first thing you feel is a firmer, more progressive pedal that holds its travel as the discs heat up. The bigger rear rotors shed heat faster, so repeated stops in a loaded estate no longer push the rear into fade. The two-piece floating disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at each rear corner, which sharpens turn-in response and keeps the dampers working over mid-corner bumps. With a stronger, more stable rear bite you get cleaner brake balance front and rear on entry, less nervousness under trail braking, and the confidence to lean on the brakes deeper into a corner in a car that carries its weight rearward.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

This is a rear-axle kit, a pair of left and right rear calipers with matched two-piece floating discs, engineered as a package rather than a parts-bin upgrade. The disc construction lowers rotating and unsprung mass while preserving the swept area needed to absorb and release heat under sustained load. The caliper body is hollow as standard; a Hollow Racing upgrade is available for circuit use, dropping the dust cover, rated to 1000C and carrying a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to how you drive: Street for quiet everyday road use, Sport for fast-road and occasional track work, and Racing for circuit sessions where bite and high-temperature stability matter most. The included painted caliper finishes, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, carry no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available so the kit reads as deliberate behind an open wheel rather than an afterthought. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with titanium or two-tone anodized centre bells selectable at checkout.
