Caliper render for this kit:

The W209 CLK 55 AMG carries its 5.4-litre M113 V8 well ahead of the front axle, so the rear brakes spend most of their life doing the lighter half of the work. That changes the moment you start leaning on the car: a quick succession of stops from three-figure speeds, or a few hard laps, and the standard rear discs heat-soak until the pedal goes long.
This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG W209 (2003-2006) rebuilds the back axle’s braking around heat management. Two-piece floating rotors shed temperature faster and trim a little unsprung weight, and three pad compounds let you set the rear bite to suit a road car, a fast-road set-up, or circuit use.
What this brake kit does for your 2003-2006 Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG W209
On a heavy GT coupe like this, rear brake stability is what keeps the back of the car settled when you trail the pedal into a corner. The two-piece floating disc resists the fade that creeps in after repeated heavy stops, so the pedal stays where you left it rather than sinking through a hard run. Matching the rear pad compound to the front, Street for daily driving, Sport for harder road use and occasional track, Racing for circuit work, lets you tune brake balance instead of fighting an over- or under-braked rear axle. The painted caliper finish is yours to specify, from a discreet Black through Red, Yellow, Gold and Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone available, so the upgrade reads through the rear wheels exactly as much as you want it to.
About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit
The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is a rear-axle disc and caliper package built specifically around heat. It pairs a two-piece floating disc, whose friction ring rides on an alloy bell and whose vented internal construction increases the surface area working to pull heat out of the disc face, with a hollow-body forged caliper as standard, reducing rotational and unsprung mass at the back of the car. It comes with a choice of three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so it can be specified as a like-for-like quality replacement or as a genuine performance step, depending on how the CLK is used. Painted calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for a small upcharge and premium polished-forged or candy finishes available. Because this is a rear-specific kit, it is designed to complement a front upgrade or to refresh tired factory rears without upsetting the W209’s standing brake balance.
Fitment for the Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG W209 (2003-2006)
This kit is cut for the rear axle of the W209-generation Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG built from 2003 to 2006. It is matched to the 55 AMG variant specifically rather than the wider CLK range, so the rotor and caliper geometry suits the AMG rear hubs of these model years. Confirm your build year falls inside the 2003-2006 span before you order.

Choosing your spec
Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.
Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing
Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.
Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.
Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing
Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.
Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 330–356mm (rear). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish
Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).
Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.
Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).


Centre bells
The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
