XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz C CLASS W202 C 240 (1993-2000)

The W202 brought a genuine five-link rear axle to Mercedes’ compact saloon, a clear step on from the 190E it replaced, but the factory rear brakes were specified for a sensible executive car rather than for repeated heavy stops. On the C 240, with the M112 V6 sat over the nose and a back axle that stays composed when you lean on it, the rear end has more grip to give than the standard discs can consistently exploit. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit goes after that gap directly.

This is a rear-axle upgrade, supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs, for owners who want the back of the W202 to carry its share of the work under braking, holding pedal feel through a fast B-road or a string of roundabouts instead of fading as the rear discs heat-soak.

What this brake kit does for your 1993-2000 Mercedes Benz C Class W202 C 240

After fitting, the most obvious change is consistency: the rear axle keeps biting through repeated stops where the original setup would start to go long. Because the W202 runs that settled five-link rear, a stronger rear brake lets you trail the pedal into a corner without the back end feeling vague. The two-piece floating discs use hollow vanes to trim rotating mass at the rear hubs, which sharpens response and eases the load on the rear suspension. Pad compound choice tunes the character – Street for quiet, low-dust daily use, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing for track sessions – so the same hardware suits a kept-original C 240 or a modified one.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is built around a two-piece floating disc with a hollow-vane section that reduces rotating mass over a solid equivalent, the gain that matters most at a brake that spins with the wheel. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade – dust-cover-free, rated to 1000C, backed by a two-year warranty – for cars that see real track time. It ships with a choice of three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – letting you match friction level and temperature window to how the car is actually used. Calipers come 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 are drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout. The focus is the rear axle specifically, so it pairs with a front upgrade or stiffens up a car that already brakes hard at the nose but washes out at the back.
