Fits Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 E 200 (1995-2003)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

330 mm

The W210 E-Class was built to cover distance in quiet comfort, not to scrub speed off a circuit, and the E 200’s modest entry-petrol output meant Mercedes never specified much rear brake for it. That logic comes apart the moment you add load, a roof box, a trailer or a long descent off a mountain pass, and the soft factory rear setup starts to feel vague and heat-soaked.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz E Class W210 E 200 (1995-2003) tackles that head on. It swaps the saloon’s softly judged rear brakes for a larger hollow-vane disc and an upgraded caliper, giving the multi-link rear axle the thermal capacity and bite to pull its weight alongside a front upgrade.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-2003 Mercedes Benz E Class W210 E 200

Fit this brake kit to a 1995-2003 Mercedes Benz E Class W210 E 200 and the first change is a firmer, more progressive rear pedal under braking. The larger two-piece disc carries more thermal mass, so repeated stops on a loaded motorway run no longer cook the rear into a long, soft pedal. With the back axle now doing its share, the nose stays flatter and the car settles instead of pitching hard onto its front springs. The three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you set the bite to match how you actually drive, from quiet commuting to harder fast-road work and the occasional track day. Included caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, mean the upgrade reads as deliberate behind the rear wheels.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit takes its name from the disc: a two-piece floating rotor with an internally vented hollow vane design that trims rotating and unsprung mass while opening up airflow across the disc face for quicker cooling. Paired with the upgraded caliper, it gives the W210’s rear axle far more consistent clamping force than the original sliding-caliper arrangement. XYZ Racing supplies the kit with a choice of three pad compounds, so the friction material suits the job: Street for quiet everyday road use, Sport for harder fast-road driving, and Racing for the highest sustained temperatures. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, rated to 1000C and supplied with a two-year warranty. Included caliper colours come at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone shade for an upcharge and premium polished-forged or candy finishes on offer, so the look is specified rather than inherited from the parts bin.

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.
