Caliper render for this kit:
The Cooper SD (R60) Countryman carries its 2.0 turbodiesel torque and crossover bulk in a way no Mini hatch does, and that extra mass lands hardest on the rear axle under repeated braking. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the 2WD Countryman targets exactly that: a rear upgrade that restores bite and holds it through long descents and the stop-start grind that a heavier, torque-rich diesel punishes its brakes with.
This is a single rear-axle kit, a matched pair of rear calipers and two-piece floating discs built to balance a nose-heavy front-drive crossover rather than simply overpower it. Hollow-vane disc construction sheds heat and pares back unsprung mass at the rear, while three pad compounds let you match the car to how you actually drive it: Street for everyday use, Sport for harder road work, and Racing for track days.
What this brake kit does for your 2010-2016 Mini Cooper SD (R60) Countryman 2WD
On a tall diesel crossover, the rear brakes spend most of their life doing modest work and then get overwhelmed when you string several heavy stops together. This kit gives the back axle the thermal headroom to cope. The hollow-vane discs run cooler, so pedal feel stays consistent instead of going long and vague once the standard setup heat-soaks. Stepping up to the Sport or Racing pad compound sharpens initial bite and pushes the fade point further out, which matters when the Countryman’s weight is loading the rear under trail-braking into a roundabout or down an Alpine pass. The included caliper colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, let the visible hardware match the rest of the build, with premium finishes available too.
About the Hollow rear brake kit
The Hollow rear brake kit is engineered around lightweight, hollow-vane two-piece floating discs that improve heat dissipation and reduce rotating mass at the rear axle. The hollowing trims weight where it costs most, unsprung and away from the car’s centre, so the suspension reacts faster and the brakes recover quicker between applications. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, and discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable when you order. The kit ships with a choice of three pad compounds, from a quiet Street pad through a higher-friction Sport compound to a Racing pad for sustained high-temperature use, so the same hardware suits a daily Countryman or a car that sees the occasional track session. Caliper finishes run from the no-cost included colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, through a Custom Color in any Pantone to premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, for owners who care how the kit looks behind the wheel.
Fitment for the Mini Cooper SD (R60) Countryman 2WD (2010-2016)
This kit is specified for the front-wheel-drive R60 Countryman in Cooper SD trim, covering the 2010 to 2016 model years. It fits the 2WD chassis specifically; confirm your car is the front-drive variant rather than the ALL4 before ordering, as drivetrain affects the correct rear setup.

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.
