Caliper render for this kit:

The eighth-generation Accord that wore the 3.5 V6 grew into something close to a full-size saloon, and with the J35’s mass sitting hard over the front axle, the standard rear brakes were always the junior partner in the system. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 (2008-2012) addresses that imbalance directly, putting a larger, more thermally stable rear setup behind a car that leans heavily on its fronts.
This is a rear-axle upgrade for owners who want the whole car to slow as one unit rather than nosing into every stop. Fit it on its own to firm up pedal response, or pair it with a front kit to rebalance bias on a chassis that has always carried its weight up front.
What this brake kit does for your 2008-2012 Honda Accord 3.5 V6
On a nose-heavy front-drive saloon the rear axle is usually left under-braked, which shows up as a long, soft pedal once the standard discs have soaked up a few hard stops. The hollow-vane rotor design sheds rotational mass and lets heat escape faster, so the rear stays consistent through repeated braking instead of fading and handing everything back to the fronts. You get a firmer pedal, more stable behaviour under trail braking into a corner, and a car that settles rather than pitching forward. Three pad compounds let you match the rear to how you actually use the Accord: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for the commute, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road work, and Racing is the dedicated circuit compound.
About the Rear Brake Kit
The XYZ Racing rear brake kit replaces the factory rear discs and calipers with an uprated assembly, supplied as a matched pair of two-piece floating discs and calipers built around a rotor whose internal hollow vanes cut rotating weight while improving heat rejection. The discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. The calipers clamp a larger effective disc area than standard, raising thermal capacity for sustained use. 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. Pad compound is your choice across Street, Sport and Racing material, so the same hardware covers a road-biased setup or a harder track pad without swapping the kit. 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, so the upgrade reads as deliberate behind an open wheel. It is designed as a bolt-on rear solution that keeps the Accord’s existing hydraulic layout while lifting the rear axle’s share of the braking work.
Fitment for the Honda ACCORD 3.5 V6 (2008-2012)
This kit is cut specifically for the Honda Accord 3.5 V6 across the 2008 to 2012 model years, fitting the rear axle of the J35-powered cars as a pair. Confirm your build year and that you are running the 3.5 V6 before ordering, as the V6 cars use different rear hardware to the four-cylinder models.

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.
