XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz E CLASS W212 E 250 (2009-2016)

The W212 E-Class was built to cover ground quietly at speed, and at the better part of 1.7 tonnes the E 250 leans on its brakes harder than its refined manner lets on. Mercedes specced the standard rear axle for low dust and hushed town running, which is fine until you string together a fast B-road or a few circuit laps and the rear discs start to heat-soak. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz E Class W212 E 250 (2009-2016) swaps that weak link for hardware sized to take repeated heat without the pedal going long.

The hollow-vane disc design keeps rotating mass in check while adding the thermal headroom the standard rear setup lacks. Matched to your choice of Street, Sport or Racing pad compound, it lets you set the rear of the car to how you actually drive it, daily commute, spirited road or track day, rather than living with a single factory compromise.

What this brake kit does for your 2009-2016 Mercedes Benz E Class W212 E 250

Fit it and the first thing you notice is a firmer, more consistent pedal under repeated heavy braking, because the hollow-vane rear discs shed heat the standard items tend to trap. On a heavy rear-wheel-drive saloon like the E 250, a stronger rear contribution sharpens overall balance and stops the front axle shouldering everything into a corner. The Racing compound gives bite and fade resistance for circuit work; the Sport pad holds sharp initial feel while staying civil and low-dust on the daily run with the odd track day; the Street compound keeps things quiet for a road car. The included caliper finishes, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone shade, let the kit show through the wheels or sit discreet, your call.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

XYZ Racing builds this as a rear-axle kit for the W212 E 250, so the spec is aimed at that platform rather than adapted from something generic, and it is supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs. The two-piece floating hollow-vane disc construction, the feature the kit takes its name from, trims rotating mass and opens up internal airflow, which is how a rear disc holds temperature across repeated stops instead of glazing the pads and stretching the pedal. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, rated to 1000C and warranted for two years. Pad compound is chosen when you order: Street for quiet road use, Sport for sharper road-and-occasional-track bite, or Racing for sustained circuit heat. Caliper finishes run from Red, Yellow, Gold and Black through Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone shade and premium polished-forged or candy finishes when none of those suit the car. As a rear kit it can be run on its own to rebalance braking, or as the back half of a fuller upgrade.
