Fits Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 E 240 (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.

XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 E 240 (1995-2003) — 330 mm
330 mm

The W210 E-Class carries its mass like the executive express it was built to be: soft springing, a long wheelbase and a rear axle that takes a real share of the work once you load the car up and start braking from speed. On the M112 V6 E 240, repeated hard stops down a fast B-road or a motorway slip betray the limits of the factory rear setup, with the pedal going long as the discs heat. This is where the XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit earns its place.

Fitted to the rear of the Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 E 240, this big brake kit restores bite and consistency to a corner of the car that standard pads and discs were never asked to do much with. It is aimed at owners running their W210 harder than Stuttgart intended: fast road, the occasional track session, or simply a heavy saloon that deserves brakes to match.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-2003 Mercedes Benz E CLASS W210 E 240

The first thing you feel is a firmer, more progressive rear bias. The hollow-vane disc design sheds rotational and unsprung mass, which sharpens turn-in and lets the rear axle settle faster over poor surfaces. With three pad compounds offered, Street, Sport and Racing, you set the rear of the car up for how you actually drive it, from quiet daily commuting through spirited road work to repeat hard stops where fade resistance matters most. On a heavy RWD saloon like the E 240, a stronger, cooler-running rear end also keeps the car more stable under trail braking rather than letting the nose do all the work.

About the Hollow Big Brake Kit

The XYZ Racing hollow-vane disc is the centrepiece here. The vented, two-piece floating rotor runs cooler and lighter than a solid factory item, helping the brakes survive successive heat cycles without glazing or warping, a known weak point on older executive cars asked to brake hard. The kit pairs that disc with a performance caliper, hollow-bodied as standard with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Pad compound is selectable when you order: Street for quiet, low-dust road manners, Sport for a sharper bite with everyday usability and the odd track day, and Racing for sustained high-temperature work. Caliper finishes include Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone shade and premium polished-forged or candy finishes available. It is a rear-axle kit, supplied as a matched pair, designed to complement rather than overwhelm the front brakes on the W210.

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.
