XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 230 (1993-2000)

The W202 was the first Mercedes to carry the C-Class badge, and three decades on the surviving C 230 cars are being used harder than their makers ever intended – fast-road driving, the occasional track day, spirited work on a good B-road. The standard rear discs were sized for a comfortable executive saloon, and they are the part that fades first once you start leaning on the car.

This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz C Class W202 C 230 (1993-2000) is aimed squarely at that weakness. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and two-piece discs, it sheds heat and weight at the rear axle, while a choice of pad compounds lets you set the rear bias to suit how you actually drive a rear-drive W202.

What this brake kit does for your 1993-2000 Mercedes Benz C Class W202 C 230

On the road you will feel the rear axle start to pull its weight again. The C 230 carries its mass over a long wheelbase, and a stronger rear brake helps keep the car settled under trail-braking instead of letting the nose dive and the tail go light. The hollow-vane two-piece discs run cooler, so the pedal stays firm through a sequence of hard stops rather than going long as the standard discs heat-soak. With three pad compounds on offer, you can keep a quiet, low-dust Street setup for daily use, step up to Sport for fast road and occasional track work, or run the full Racing compound when the car sees a circuit. Included caliper finishes – Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost – mean the upgrade reads as well behind the wheels as it works under braking.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow name refers to the disc design: two-piece floating rotors whose vanes are hollowed to cut unsprung mass and open up extra area for heat to escape. Less rotating mass at the rear axle lets the suspension control the wheel more easily over broken surfaces, and more cooling area means the brake holds up when the stops come thick and fast. As a big brake kit it pairs those discs with a matched caliper – hollow-body as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C and a two-year warranty for track use – so clamping force and disc capacity are designed to work together rather than bolting a larger rotor onto a tired standard caliper. Three pad compounds of Street, Sport and Racing span the range from road manners to track heat tolerance. Calipers are finished in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or 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.
