XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz ML 350 4MATIC W164 (2006-2011)

The W164 ML 350 4MATIC carries the better part of two tonnes through its rear axle, and on a permanent four-wheel-drive SUV the rear brakes do more real work than most owners assume, especially loaded, towing, or hauling speed off on a long descent. The standard rear setup copes with daily use but starts to feel soft and long in travel once you ask for repeated hard stops. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Mercedes Benz ML 350 4MATIC W164 goes after exactly that weakness.

It pairs a larger, better-ventilated two-piece floating disc with a fixed multi-piston caliper and a choice of pad compound, supplied as a matched pair for the back axle, lifting the thermal ceiling so the rear keeps biting after the third or fourth heavy application rather than turning vague. For a heavy 4MATIC that splits braking effort front to rear, that rear-axle consistency is what steadies the whole car under load.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Mercedes Benz ML 350 4MATIC W164

The most immediate change is pedal feel: a fixed caliper flexes far less than the sliding original, so the first third of pedal travel firms up and stays where you put it. Bigger rotors add thermal mass and leverage, which on a two-tonne W164 means shorter, more repeatable stops once the brakes are hot. Three pad compounds let you match the car to its job: Street for quiet, low-dust ordinary road duty, Sport for harder fast-road and light-towing use with a wider heat range, and Racing for owners who regularly ask a heavy SUV to stop properly time after time. A stronger rear axle keeps front-and-rear balance honest under load. Caliper finish comes in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black or a Custom colour, so the upgrade reads through the rear wheels instead of hiding behind them.

About the rear big brake kit

The kit trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle with a two-piece floating disc while still adding diameter and venting over the original component; the ring is offered drilled or slotted at the same price. It is a bolt-on rear-axle kit built around a fixed multi-piston caliper, a vaned rotor sized for the W164’s mass, and the brackets and lines needed to locate everything correctly. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, rated to 1000C, two-year warranty) for hard track or heavy-duty work. The pad range runs Street, Sport and Racing, so the same hardware can be tuned from quiet road manners to serious heat tolerance. Painted caliper colours are no-cost, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for GBP 150 more, alongside premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver), candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) and two-tone or titanium centre bells. Being a rear-specific kit, it is designed to balance against the front axle rather than overwhelm it, which matters on a 4MATIC where front and rear brake distribution have to work together. Build it with the compound and caliper colour that suit how you actually use the car.
