XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Honda ELEMENT (2003-2011)

The Honda Element carries its mass high and well forward, a tall, K24-powered box riding on a CR-V-derived platform that was never set up to lean hard on its rear axle when you brake. This XYZ Racing rear brake kit redresses that balance, giving the back of the car genuine stopping authority instead of leaving the front discs to shoulder almost all of the work.

Fitted to the 2003-2011 Element, it is a pair of rear calipers and discs, left and right, aimed at owners who actually use the thing: load bay full, dog crate strapped in, a bike on the back. That is exactly when the standard rear setup runs out of ideas. Two-piece floating rotors keep the upgrade from piling weight onto an already nose-heavy car.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2011 Honda Element

The first thing you feel is a flatter, more settled stop when the Element is loaded, the rear axle finally pulling its share rather than trailing the fronts. On a long downhill or a heavy motorway slip road, that shared workload means the front brakes run cooler and the pedal stays firm instead of going long. Three pad compounds let you set the rear to suit the car’s life: Street for quiet, low-dust everyday running, Sport for harder road use, and a Racing compound for owners who track or tow at the limit. Braided lines hold the pedal firm under heat, and caliper finishes in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone option, let the hardware read through the wheels as cleanly or as loud as you like.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The rear brake kit is built around two-piece floating rotors with hollow internal vanes to shed rotating and unsprung mass while opening up extra surface for heat to escape, the key reason a tall, heavy vehicle like the Element benefits from it. Lower unsprung weight at the rear axle helps the dampers keep the wheels planted over broken surfaces; better heat dissipation keeps the rear pads working when the fronts are saturated. The kit runs a choice of three pad compounds (Street, Sport, Racing) so the bite can be matched to use rather than guessed at. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for hard use that drops the dust cover, takes a 1000C rating and carries a two-year warranty. Beyond the no-cost painted colours, premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Teal, Blue, Red, Orange) finishes are offered. Caliper, rotor and pad are supplied as a matched rear set, sized to clear the Element’s wheel package and tuned to bring the rear axle into the braking conversation it was always missing.
