XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Holden COMMODORE 160 (1999-2003)

The 1999-2003 Commodore 160 is a heavy rear-drive saloon, and on a hard-used car it is the rear axle that quietly takes the punishment: repeated stops from speed, a loaded boot, and the independent rear end working through every corner. The standard rear discs cope with shopping-run duty, but they run out of thermal headroom long before the front end does once you start using the car. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit is built to put that headroom back.

This is a rear big brake kit aimed at owners who track, sprint, or simply drive their Commodore the way it was meant to be driven. It adds rotor mass and caliper clamping where the factory setup is weakest, so the rear stays composed when the brakes are hot and the bias stays where you set it.

What this brake kit does for your 1999-2003 Holden Commodore 160

Fit it and the first thing you notice is a firmer, more progressive rear bite, the kind that lets you trail-brake into a corner without the back stepping out of line. The larger two-piece floating rotors carry and shed heat better than the originals, which keeps pedal feel consistent across repeated stops instead of going long and vague after three hard laps. Pad compound is your call: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily use, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road work, and Racing is the dedicated track compound for when the car spends real time at temperature. On a 1600kg-plus saloon, that extra rear thermal capacity is what stops a track session ending early.

About the Rear Brake Kit

The two-piece floating rotor is the engineering point here, supplied as a matched pair for the rear axle. Internal hollow vanes cut mass out of the disc to reduce rotating and unsprung weight at the back, which sharpens response and eases the load on the rear suspension without giving up swept area, and the discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. The kit pairs those rotors with uprated calipers and runs the three-stage pad menu: Street for quiet road use, Sport for fast-road bite, and Racing for sustained track heat. 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. It is a bolt-on rear upgrade engineered specifically around the Commodore’s rear hub and disc dimensions.
