XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mercedes Benz S CLASS W220 S 600 (2000-2005)

The W220 S 600 carries its twelve cylinders over the front axle and better than two tonnes of luxury saloon on the move, which leaves the rear axle managing weight transfer rather than generating it. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit gives that axle the thermal headroom a standard S-Class rear setup runs short of when a heavy V12 limousine is asked to stop hard, repeatedly, from autobahn speeds.

This is the rear half of a balanced upgrade for the 2000-2005 S 600. It pairs two-piece floating discs with a fixed rear caliper sized for the car’s mass, built to keep pedal feel consistent once the factory rear brakes have started to fade. For fast-road and high-speed touring use in a car this heavy, rear braking stability is what stops the nose running wide under trail braking.

What this big brake kit does for your 2000-2005 Mercedes Benz S Class W220 S 600

After fitting, the first thing you notice on the W220 is a firmer, more progressive rear pedal that holds its bite through a sequence of heavy stops rather than going long. The hollow-vane discs shed heat faster than a solid factory rear rotor, so a two-tonne S 600 hauling down from three-figure cruising speeds keeps a more stable bite point. Three pad compounds let you match the rear axle to how you actually use the car: Street for quiet long-distance touring, Sport for harder road work with more bite and heat range, and Racing for sustained high-temperature stops. Better rear thermal stability also tightens the car’s balance under braking, reducing the lazy, nose-led stops the standard S-Class drifts toward once the brakes get warm.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit is XYZ Racing’s two-piece floating-disc upgrade for the rear axle, named for the hollow-vane disc that cuts rotating and unsprung mass while keeping the swept area the swept rotor needs to absorb braking energy. The fixed caliper clamps a larger, better-ventilated rotor than the sliding factory rear arrangement, which matters on a car as heavy as the S 600 where the rear does real stopping work at speed. The caliper body is hollow as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use, rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells available. Caliper finishes include Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, or a Custom Color in any Pantone for 150 pounds, so the kit can sit discreetly behind the W220’s factory wheels or stand out. As a rear-specific kit it is designed to pair with a matching front setup for a complete front-and-rear brake overhaul.
