XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Ford FOCUS TDCI (2009-2013)

The Focus TDCI carries a heavy iron-block turbodiesel over its front axle, which is exactly why the rear brakes get neglected. They do the least work from the factory and are the first to fade once you start asking more of the car. This XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the Ford Focus TDCI (2009-2013) rebalances the car’s braking so the back axle pulls its weight under hard, repeated stops.

It is aimed at the fast-road Focus owner who has already remapped the 2.0 TDCI for a chunk more torque, or who runs spirited B-road and occasional track-day miles. Two-piece floating discs with internal hollow vanes cut rotating mass at the rear and shed heat faster than the solid OEM items, keeping pedal feel consistent while a front kit handles the heavy lifting.

What this rear big brake kit does for your 2009-2013 Ford Focus TDCI

Behind the wheels you get a firmer, more reassuring pedal and a rear axle that resists the glazing and fade that blights an overworked OEM diesel setup. The hollow-vane discs run cooler, so the back of the car keeps biting through a sequence of hard stops instead of going soft halfway down a long descent. Three pad compounds let you match rear bite to how the car is actually used: Street is the quiet, low-dust road default, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road work with occasional track days, and Racing is the dedicated track compound. With the Focus’s Control Blade independent rear suspension already giving the chassis real composure, a stronger rear brake helps the car settle under trail-braking rather than washing into understeer. Caliper finishes mean the upgrade reads as deliberate behind an open wheel.

About the Rear Big Brake Kit

This rear kit is supplied as a matched pair of two-piece floating discs and calipers for the back axle. The discs run internal hollow vanes that reduce rotating mass and channel heat away from the friction surface, and they come drilled or slotted at the same price, with the drillings giving trapped gases and brake dust a path to escape from between pad and rotor. Lighter discs mean less unsprung weight at each rear corner for the suspension to control, and the venting helps the assembly recover heat between stops. Three pad compounds are offered: Street suits quiet, low-dust road use, Sport adds bite and heat tolerance for spirited driving, and Racing is there for owners who see regular circuit time. The hollow-body caliper is standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Included painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone colour at £150, plus premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange options. It is built as a balance-and-cooling upgrade rather than a raw clamping-force boost, which is the correct brief for a rear axle.

Fitment for the Ford Focus TDCI (2009-2013)

This kit is matched to the rear axle of the Ford Focus TDCI built between 2009 and 2013, covering the turbodiesel models across that span. It fits the rear position only as a pair, and is designed to complement a front brake upgrade rather than replace one. Confirm your exact model year before ordering so the disc and caliper sizing matches your car.
