XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Chrysler CROSSFIRE (2003-2007)

The Crossfire borrowed its running gear from the first-generation Mercedes SLK, which means a rear-drive chassis that rewards a balanced brake setup far more than its grand-tourer styling suggests. Out of the box the rear discs were sized for relaxed cruising, and they are the first thing to fade when an owner starts using the car the way its layout invites. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Chrysler Crossfire swaps them for a larger, two-piece vented rotor and a fixed multi-piston caliper, restoring proper bite and heat capacity to the back axle, supplied as a matched left-and-right pair.

On a short-wheelbase rear-driver like this, rear brake performance is what keeps the car settled under trail-braking and on quick road descents. This kit gives the rear axle the thermal headroom to run harder pads without the back end going wooden after a few firm stops, and it comes with three pad compounds and a full range of caliper finishes so the spec follows how you actually drive.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2007 Chrysler Crossfire

Fitted to the rear of a Chrysler Crossfire, the larger vented rotor pulls heat away faster, so pedal feel stays consistent through repeated braking instead of softening as the standard discs heat-soak. The fixed multi-piston caliper clamps more evenly than the sliding original, which sharpens modulation right at the point where you are bleeding off speed into a corner. Pick the Street compound for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for harder fast-road work and the occasional track day, or Racing for circuit days, and the rear balance shifts to suit, especially when the rear compound is matched to the front. Painted caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, let the kit read as a deliberate upgrade behind the wheels rather than an afterthought.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit takes its name from its hollow-vane disc, a two-piece floating rotor that cores material out of the braking ring to trim rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle while opening up surface area for cooling, with a floating bell that lets the ring expand under heat without distorting. The vented disc and fixed caliper are matched as a system, so clamping force and heat dissipation are sized to each other rather than bolted on piecemeal. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, cover everything from quiet, low-dust daily commuting to repeated track laps, letting you tune rear bite to the front setup. Painted calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with premium polished-forged and candy options and a custom Pantone choice for owners colour-matching to bodywork or wheels, while discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, braided lines are included, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized colour or titanium. It is a bolt-on rear brake kit built to lift a road car’s back-axle braking to a level the Crossfire’s rear-drive chassis can put to use.
