XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Honda CIVIC EK (1996-2000)

The EK Civic carries very little weight over its rear axle, and on a front-wheel-drive chassis the back brakes spend most of their life balancing the car rather than doing the heavy stopping. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the Honda Civic EK tackles that directly: it sharpens rear bite, steadies brake balance under trail-braking, and gives the lift-off rotation these cars are loved for something more predictable to lean on.

This is a rear-axle kit for owners running their EK harder than the factory drums or single-piston discs were ever meant to cope with, track days, sprints, committed B-road driving. The two-piece floating discs keep rotating and unsprung mass down, and three pad compounds let you match rear bite to how the car is actually used.

What this brake kit does for your 1996-2000 Honda Civic EK

On the road you get a firmer, more consistent rear pedal and a handbrake that bites cleanly, a genuine gain on EKs converted up from rear drums. Push into a track session and the hollow-vane discs shed heat faster than a solid factory rotor, so the rear stays composed through repeated heavy stops instead of going vague as temperature builds. Three pad compounds set how aggressive the rear axle is: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for daily mileage, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road use, and Racing is the dedicated compound for when you want the back to help the fronts haul the car down from speed. Because the EK reacts sharply to brake balance, a more capable rear lets you brake later into a corner without the nose washing wide. The car rotates on command and stops with the rear pulling its share.

About the Rear Brake Kit

The kit replaces the EK’s modest rear hardware with a matched pair of two-piece floating discs and calipers built to run hotter for longer. The hollow-vane disc construction is the engineering point: removing material from the disc body cuts rotating mass and aids heat dissipation, which matters most on a light car that cycles its brakes hard, and the discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. The caliper clamps a pad of your chosen compound: Street for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for spirited road work, or Racing for track and competition work. 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 rear-specific system, designed to complement a front big brake setup or a strong factory front rather than overpower it. The goal is consistent, fade-resistant rear braking that holds its character as disc temperature climbs.
