Caliper render for this kit:

The 2011-2012 Santa Fe CRDI is a heavy, front-biased diesel SUV, and the common-rail engine’s torque means it gathers speed far more easily than its kerb weight wants to shed it. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit targets the axle that standard SUV setups under-serve: the rear, where thermal capacity runs short under a full load, under tow, or on repeated motorway braking.
This is a rear big brake kit built around hollow-vane discs that add thermal mass without piling on unsprung weight. For a family Hyundai that spends much of its life fully laden, on long descents, or hauling a trailer, that combination keeps pedal feel consistent at the point where a smaller rear setup would already be heat-soaked.
What this brake kit does for your 2011-2012 Hyundai Santafe CRDI
After fitting, the first thing you feel on the Santa Fe CRDI is a firmer, more progressive rear bite that steadies the nose-down attitude this front-heavy SUV adopts under hard braking. The larger discs and hollow construction shed heat faster, so a loaded descent or a sustained tow no longer cooks the rear pads into fade. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to use: Street for quiet, low-dust family running, Sport for firmer everyday driving and light towing, and Racing for prolonged heavy-duty heat. The caliper finish sits cleanly behind the wheels, so the upgrade reads as deliberate rather than aftermarket clutter.
About the XYZ Racing Hollow rear brake kit
The Hollow rear brake kit is XYZ Racing’s heat-management answer for heavier vehicles. The discs use a hollow-vane internal structure that increases the surface area working to dissipate heat while trimming the rotating mass each wheel has to accelerate and stop. The two-piece floating rotors run cooler still, and the hollow-bodied caliper is standard across the range. Matched calipers clamp a larger, more thermally stable rotor than the factory rear item, which is exactly where a front-biased SUV like the Santafe CRDI tends to be under-specified once it is asked to do more than commute. The three-stage pad range, Street, Sport and Racing, lets the same hardware suit a school-run diesel or a tow car worked hard on gradients. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. Calipers are finished in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, or any Pantone shade as a custom colour. It is a bolt-on rear upgrade aimed at owners who want more consistent stopping from the axle the original setup neglected.
Fitment for the Hyundai Santafe CRDI (2011-2012)
This kit is configured for the rear axle of the Hyundai Santafe CRDI across the 2011 to 2012 model years. CRDi denotes the common-rail diesel variant, so confirm that your car is the diesel and that its build year falls inside the 2011-2012 span before ordering. Pad compound and caliper colour are both selected when you order.

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.
