XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mazda CX-5 2WD (KE) (2015-2017)

The first-generation CX-5 KE carries its mass high and well forward, a front-drive SkyActiv crossover that pitches hard onto its nose the moment you lean on the brakes. On the standard setup that leaves the rear axle doing relatively little, which is fine for a school run but tells a different story when the car is loaded with passengers and luggage and being hauled down from motorway speed. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mazda CX-5 2WD (KE) is aimed squarely at that rear-axle shortfall.

This is a rear-specific upgrade, a pair of left and right rear calipers with matched discs, built to put the back brakes back to work on a tall, heavy 2WD platform. More thermal capacity behind means the rears keep contributing through repeated hard stops instead of giving up early and dumping everything onto the front discs. You choose the pad compound to match how the car actually gets used.

What this big brake kit does for your 2015-2017 Mazda CX-5 2WD (KE)

The most useful gain on a crossover this size is consistency. A larger rear disc holds more heat before performance drops off, so a loaded CX-5 KE on a long descent or a series of quick stops keeps a firmer, more predictable pedal. Better rear contribution also steadies the car under braking, with less of the dive and front-end overload you feel when the back axle is barely involved. The three pad compounds let you set the bite you want: the Street compound for quiet everyday running with low dust, the Sport compound for keener response and a wider heat range on spirited roads, and the Racing compound when the car sees harder, hotter use. Painted caliper finishes included at no extra cost (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black) plus Custom Color and the premium ranges mean the upgrade looks deliberate behind the rear wheels rather than an afterthought.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is a bolt-on rear-axle package for the CX-5, pairing an uprated two-piece floating disc with a matched caliper sized for the back of this chassis. The hollow caliper body and disc design trim unsprung and rotational mass while keeping the thermal capacity needed to resist fade, which matters on a heavier SUV body where the brakes have real weight to manage. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized centre bells in five colours or titanium selectable at checkout. The kit ships with a choice of three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware suits a daily driver, a fast-road car or something that gets pushed harder. The hollow-body caliper is standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C, no dust cover and a two-year warranty for track duty. Caliper colour is specified when you order: the included painted finishes through to a custom Pantone. Because it addresses the rear axle only, it is designed to work alongside the existing front brakes to sharpen overall balance rather than simply add outright size for its own sake.
