XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz ML 420 CDI 4MATICW164 (2006-2011)

The W164 ML 420 CDI hauls a 4.0-litre V8 turbodiesel and full-time 4MATIC hardware over more than two tonnes of kerb weight, and the rear axle shoulders far more of the braking load than most owners credit it for. On a heavy diesel SUV that spends its life loaded, towing, or descending motorway gradients, the rear brakes are what keep the car settled when the fronts are already glowing.

This XYZ Racing Rear Big Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz ML 420 CDI 4MATICW164 (2006-2011) replaces the standard rear setup with a larger, better-ventilated package built to resist heat soak. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and rear discs, it is a rear big brake kit for drivers who want consistent retardation from a heavy vehicle rather than a soft pedal that wilts on the third hard stop.

What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Mercedes Benz ML 420 CDI 4MATICW164

The biggest gain you feel is a firmer, more progressive pedal that holds its bite when the W164 is fully laden. Greater disc area and improved airflow pull heat out faster, so braking force stays predictable through repeated heavy applications instead of fading, and front-and-rear balance stays composed under load. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the rear axle to how you actually drive, from refined, low-dust daily use, through fast-road work with a wider heat range, to harder, hotter sustained driving. Behind the wheels, the calipers are available in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black or a Custom finish, so the upgrade reads as deliberate rather than aftermarket clutter.

About the rear big brake kit

The kit is a bolt-on assembly pairing an uprated caliper with a larger two-piece floating rotor, sized specifically for the rear of the W164 platform. The vane and ring design is there to shed heat quickly and trim rotational mass, which is what keeps a heavy diesel SUV’s rear brakes composed under sustained load; the ring is offered drilled or slotted at the same price. 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 use. Pad choice is yours across three compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, each with a different temperature window and friction character. Painted caliper finishes come at no cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for GBP 150 more; 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 cover both subtle and loud tastes without changing how the kit performs.
