Caliper render for this kit:

The Luxgen S3 carries its braking load up front, the way every front-drive compact saloon does, and that leaves the rear axle doing quiet, undervalued work that gets exposed the moment you start stopping hard and often. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Luxgen S3 addresses that imbalance directly, giving the back axle a larger, better-cooled disc that keeps the car settled under heavy retardation rather than letting the front do everything until it overheats.
It is a rear-specific upgrade, designed to pair with a sharper front setup or simply to firm up the standard car’s stopping behaviour. The two-piece floating disc sheds heat and weight, which matters more than people assume on a light Taiwanese saloon where unsprung mass at the rear influences how composed the chassis feels mid-corner.
What this brake kit does for your 2016-2026 Luxgen S3
After fitting, the first thing you notice is a firmer, more progressive pedal under repeated stops, the kind of consistency the standard rear setup loses once it gets warm. The larger rear disc and floating-vane construction pull heat out faster, so brake balance stays where the chassis wants it instead of drifting forward as the rear fades. On a front-heavy S3 that translates into less nose-dive twitchiness and a more stable platform when you brake into a roundabout or trail the pedal towards an apex. Pad compound is your lever here: the Street option keeps things quiet and low-dust for daily driving, Sport steps up bite and heat range for harder use, while the Racing compound holds bite through sustained track and fast-road work. The result is a rear axle that contributes properly rather than coasting along behind an overworked front end.
About the Hollow rear brake kit
This is a bolt-on rear big brake kit built around a two-piece floating disc, where the internal vane structure cuts rotational and unsprung weight while increasing the surface area that carries heat away from the friction face. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing caliper for harder use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The kit ships with a choice of three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware suits a road-biased S3 or one that sees occasional track and fast-road work. Calipers are painted 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 a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, letting you match or contrast the wheel and bodywork. Discs are drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable at checkout. The engineering priority is thermal management and consistent torque delivery at the rear, the area most road cars neglect, rather than headline disc diameter alone. Everything is sized specifically for the S3’s rear hub geometry, supplied as a pair, so it works with the existing handbrake and parking provision.
Fitment for the Luxgen S3 (2016-2026)
This kit is configured for the Luxgen S3 across the 2016 to 2026 model span and fits the rear axle only, as a pair. Confirm your build year and current rear brake specification against the options above before ordering, then choose your pad compound and caliper colour to suit how the car is used.

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.
