XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Honda NSX (1990-2005)

The NSX puts more of its mass over the rear axle than almost any front-engined coupe of its era, so the back brakes on Honda’s mid-engined flagship carry more of the stop than newcomers to the chassis expect. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit for the Honda NSX (1990-2005) is built around that reality, adding rear clamping capacity that keeps pace with what the front axle is already doing on a hard-driven car.

On the NA1 and NA2 cars the factory rear setup is fine for the road but starts to wilt after a few hot laps, and on an all-aluminium chassis that weighs barely 1,400 kg, recovering brake consistency matters more than chasing raw outright power. This kit is a pair of rear calipers and discs, left and right, aimed at owners who use their NSX the way Honda intended.

What this big brake kit does for your 1990-2005 Honda NSX

After fitting, the first thing you notice is a firmer, more progressive rear pedal that holds its bite once the discs are hot. The hollow-vane disc design trims rotating and unsprung mass at each rear corner, which a light car like the NSX rewards with crisper turn-in and less unsettlement over mid-corner bumps. Pad compound is your call: the Street option suits quiet, low-dust road use, the Sport compound steps up bite and heat range for spirited driving, and the Racing compound is there for repeat track sessions. Braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. Better rear thermal capacity also keeps the car’s braking balance stable instead of throwing all the workload onto the fronts.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The kit pairs two-piece floating discs, hollow-vane internally, with a hollow-body caliper to cut rotating weight while improving heat shedding at the rear axle. Hollowing the disc removes mass where it hurts handling most, out at the wheel’s circumference, without sacrificing swept area. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you spec the kit to how you actually drive, from road miles to circuit work, and for serious track use a Hollow Racing caliper upgrade drops the dust cover, takes a 1000C rating and carries a two-year warranty. Calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone finish and premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) or candy (Teal, Blue, Red, Orange) options, so the look behind the wheels is yours to set. It is a rear-axle upgrade meant to complement, not overwhelm, the NSX’s famously delicate front-to-rear balance.

Fitment for the Honda NSX (1990-2005)

This kit fits the rear axle of the Honda NSX across the full 1990 to 2005 production run, covering both the NA1 and NA2 chassis. It is a rear-position kit and is best run with a matching front setup so the brake bias stays where Honda’s engineers left it.
