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

The W202 C-Class sends meaningful load to its rear axle under braking, and the AMG cars make that impossible to ignore – the C36’s 3.6-litre straight-six and the C43’s 4.3-litre V8 turn a compact saloon into something that has to stop as convincingly as it pulls. The XYZ Racing Hollow rear brake kit for the Mercedes Benz C Class W202 (1993-2000) goes straight at the back end of that equation.

This is a rear-axle upgrade for owners running these cars hard on fast road and the occasional track day, where the factory rear setup starts to feel its age after a few committed stops. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs, it pairs a choice of pad compound with a heavier braking package to restore bite and consistency to a chassis that is now, in 2026, firmly into youngtimer territory and being asked to work harder than its designers planned.

What this brake kit does for your 1993-2000 Mercedes Benz C-Class W202 (including AMG)

On a rear-wheel-drive saloon like the W202, the rear brakes do more than scrub speed – they govern how the car settles into a corner under trail braking, and a tired rear end goes vague exactly when you want it planted. This kit sharpens that response: firmer, more progressive pedal feel and far better resistance to fade when you lean on the brakes repeatedly. The two-piece floating discs use hollow vanes to carry heat while trimming rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle. The three pad compounds let you match the car to its job – Street for quiet, low-dust daily use, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing when heat and repeat stops are the priority. For the AMG cars carrying extra mass and pace, that gain in rear-axle confidence is the difference between a saloon that shrugs off a quick B-road and one that runs out of brakes halfway down it.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The XYZ Racing Hollow rear brake kit replaces the W202’s factory rear setup with more thermal headroom and a more serious clamping package built around two-piece floating discs and a fixed caliper. The caliper is hollow-body as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade – no dust cover, rated to 1000C, backed by a two-year warranty – for cars run hard on track. It is supplied with a choice of three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – so it can be specified for a road car, a fast-road build or a car that sees track time, rather than forcing one compromise across every use. Included caliper finishes are 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, with two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout. The design targets the consistency that 1990s factory rear brakes struggle to hold once a youngtimer is driven hard, giving repeatable stopping performance instead of a pedal that goes long after a handful of stops. As a rear-axle kit it is meant to work alongside a matched front upgrade, keeping front-to-rear balance sensible.
