XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Ford FOCUS 2.0 GDI MK3 (2011-2018)

The MK3 Focus carries its braking load up front, the way every front-drive hatch does, and the factory rear discs are sized accordingly: small, and quick to heat-soak once you start stringing corners together. The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Ford Focus 2.0 GDI MK3 puts proper thermal capacity at the back axle, where the standard setup is the first thing to fade.

This is a balance upgrade as much as a stopping-power one. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs, it gives more consistent rear bite, so the C346 chassis settles under trail-braking instead of going light at the rear, and the naturally aspirated 2.0 GDI’s weight loads more evenly across the tyres as you turn the front end into a corner.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2018 Ford Focus 2.0 GDI MK3

On the road you notice it most as consistency: the rear no longer drops away after a run of hard stops down a B-road, and the pedal holds its travel. On a track day or a fast hillclimb that consistency is the difference between a stable car and one that needs constant correction at the back. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to use, with Street for daily driving, Sport for a harder-working fast-road car, and Racing for sustained track abuse where the factory rear pad would have glazed long ago. A full menu of caliper finishes, including custom Pantone, means the look behind the wheel spokes is yours to set.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a rear-axle kit specifically for the MK3 Focus, not a universal disc dropped onto a generic bracket. The hollow-vane disc design named in the kit points to where the engineering effort sits: a rotor that sheds heat and trims rotating mass at the rear hubs, so the brake recovers between applications rather than soaking through a session. The disc is a two-piece floating design, offered drilled or slotted at the same price and fed by braided lines, clamped by a caliper that is hollow-body as standard; for regular circuit time you can specify the optional Hollow Racing upgrade, which runs without a dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The pad system runs three compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware spans a commuter and a car that sees regular circuit time without any change to the caliper or carrier. Painted calipers are finished 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. Everything is sized and bracketed for the rear of the Ford Focus, so the upgrade bolts on rather than turning into a fabrication project.
