XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 220 (1993-2000)

The W202 C-Class left Sindelfingen with a rear axle set up for autobahn refinement rather than repeated heavy braking, and on a C 220 the standard rear discs are the first thing to go soft once you start leaning on the car. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit attacks that weakness directly, swapping the modest factory rear setup for a larger, better-ventilated package that keeps a consistent pedal when the standard discs would already be cooking.

For a rear-drive saloon like the W202 C 220, rear brake balance matters more than owners expect. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs, the kit puts more capable, more thermally stable stoppers under the back of the car so the whole chassis settles under trail-braking instead of nervously locking or fading. This is a focused upgrade for fast-road and occasional track use, not a cosmetic one.

What this rear big brake kit does for your 1993-2000 Mercedes Benz C-Class W202 C 220

After fitting, the first thing you notice on the W202 is a firmer, more linear rear bite that holds its character through a run of hard stops rather than going long and vague. The two-piece floating disc carries a hollow-vane ring that trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle, which sharpens how the C 220 reacts to brake and throttle inputs mid-corner. Pad compound is your tuning lever here: Street is the quiet, low-dust daily option, Sport adds bite and heat range for spirited road work, and Racing is the track compound for repeated heavy braking. Because the kit improves rear thermal headroom, the car carries its brake balance deeper into a corner instead of pushing all the work onto the fronts. The result is a saloon that feels planted and predictable under braking, which is exactly what this generation of C-Class lacks from the factory.

About the XYZ Racing Hollow rear brake kit

The XYZ Racing Hollow rear brake kit pairs an uprated caliper with a larger two-piece rotor whose hollow vanes shed heat faster and weigh less than a solid equivalent. It is a complete rear-axle package, supplied with a choice of three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – so you can match the kit to how the car is actually used rather than accepting a single fixed friction level. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty for serious track work. Finishes run Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, plus premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium are selectable at checkout. As a rear-specific kit, it is engineered to lift the C 220’s weakest braking link to match a more serious driving brief.
