Fits Fiat ABARTH 500 1.4 (2008-2026)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

380 mm

The Abarth 500 1.4’s short wheelbase and nose-led weight distribution put most of the braking load over the front axle, which leaves the rear doing quieter but no less important work: holding the car’s balance as you brake into a corner. The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Fiat Abarth 500 1.4 upgrades that rear axle with a larger disc and a performance caliper, so the back of the car stops doing the bare minimum and starts contributing to how the 500 rotates.

On a light, turbocharged front-driver that likes to pivot on a trailing throttle, a stronger and more consistent rear brake sharpens turn-in and keeps the bias predictable through repeated stops. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs, this is a kit for owners who already feel the standard rear setup going vague on a quick B-road or a track day and want the whole car braking as one.

What this brake kit does for your 2008-2026 Fiat ABARTH 500 1.4

Fit the kit and the first thing you notice is a firmer, more progressive rear pedal. The larger disc gives the pads more leverage, so the rear axle bites cleanly instead of simply trailing the fronts. Three pad compounds let you match the car to its job: Street for daily driving, Sport for spirited road use, and Racing for track sessions where rear fade is the thing that ends your day early. Because the rear is now matched to a more capable front end, the brake bias stays stable as the discs heat, so the Abarth 500 1.4 holds its line under trail braking rather than running wide. And with painted caliper finishes from discreet Black through Red, Yellow and Gold, plus custom Pantone and premium options, the upgrade reads clearly through the rear wheels without shouting.

About the rear big brake kit

The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit is a bolt-on rear-axle upgrade built around a larger-diameter two-piece floating disc and an uprated caliper, replacing the modest factory rear hardware on the Abarth 500. The disc design is aimed squarely at heat management, the priority on a small, light car whose brakes warm up fast and need to shed that heat between corners rather than soaking it into fade, and it is offered drilled or slotted at the same price with braided lines fitted. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, rated to 1000C, two-year warranty) for owners running hard track sessions. Pad choice is where you tune the character: three compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, span everyday quiet running through to high-temperature track use on the same disc and caliper. 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. It is engineered as the rear half of a balanced braking package, so it works best considered alongside a matching front kit rather than as a standalone styling part.

Fitment for the Fiat ABARTH 500 1.4 (2008-2026)

This kit is specified for the Fiat Abarth 500 1.4 across the 2008 to 2026 production span, covering the turbocharged 1.4 cars on the 500 platform. It is position-specific rear hardware and fits the rear axle only. Confirm your exact year and variant against the selector before ordering, since the Abarth 500 ran in several states of tune across that window.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 330–356mm (rear). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
