XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Ferrari CALIFORNIA (2008-2014)

The California’s folding metal hardtop stacks real mass over the rear axle, and that weight has to be hauled down every time you brake hard from a GT cruise or a quick B-road blast. The XYZ Racing Hollow rear big brake kit for the Ferrari California goes straight at that load, giving the back axle the thermal headroom the standard setup runs short of once the stops come thick and fast.

This is a rear-specific kit built for a 2+2 grand tourer that weighs the better part of 1,700 kg. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs, it pairs uprated rotors with a choice of pad compound, so a California used for long continental runs or the occasional circuit day keeps a firm, repeatable pedal instead of settling into a soft, long-travel stop.

What this brake kit does for your 2008-2014 Ferrari California

Larger, better-cooled rear discs let the back axle take a bigger share of the braking effort rather than leaning everything on the fronts, which steadies the car under hard deceleration and tidies up turn-in. With three pad compounds you can match the kit to how the car is actually used: the Racing compound holds bite through repeated heavy stops on track, Sport suits harder fast-road work, and the Street option keeps cold performance and lower dust for road driving. The payoff is shorter, more consistent stopping distances and a pedal that stays where you put it as the rear discs come up to temperature. On a heavy folding-roof GT like the California, that rear thermal capacity is what keeps the whole car composed when you push it.

About the Hollow brake kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow line is a big brake upgrade, and this version is configured specifically for the rear of the California rather than sold as a generic fit. It swaps the standard rear discs and calipers for larger two-piece floating discs and a hollow-body caliper that shed heat faster and resist the fade that creeps in once the brakes have been worked. The discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, fed by braided lines, and the caliper is hollow-body as standard; for sustained circuit use you can specify the optional Hollow Racing upgrade, which runs without a dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds are offered, Street for everyday driving, Sport for harder road use, and Racing for circuit sessions, so a single kit covers a daily-driven Ferrari and one that sees track time. Painted calipers come in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with any Pantone shade as a Custom Color for a small upcharge, plus premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver), candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange), and two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium, letting you set the look behind the wheels to taste. The kit is sized to the California’s existing hubs and wheel package, so it goes on as an upgrade rather than a re-engineering job.

Fitment for the Ferrari California (2008-2014)

This kit is built for the Ferrari California across the 2008 to 2014 model years, the 4.3-litre V8 generation with the retractable hardtop. It is a rear-axle kit, so it can run on its own or alongside a matching front setup. Confirm your build year falls inside the 2008-2014 span before configuring, then choose the caliper finish and pad compound to suit how the car is driven.
