XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mitsubishi EVO8 (2003-2005)

The Evo VIII’s AWD traction lets it carry corner speed that leaves most rivals watching, but all that grip loads the rear axle hard the moment you get back on the brakes, and on the CT9A the standard rear setup is the first thing to give once the car sees repeat track use. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mitsubishi EVO8 rebuilds that corner of the car, adding thermal headroom and bite where the factory rear disc starts to fade.

It is a single rear-axle kit, a matched pair of rear calipers and two-piece floating discs, so it works alongside a front upgrade to restore proper front-to-rear bias rather than acting on its own. On an Evo VIII running Active Yaw Control, the rear brakes do more than slow the car (the system uses them to help rotate it), so consistent, repeatable rear clamping matters more here than it would on a conventional rear-driven chassis.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2005 Mitsubishi EVO8

The hollow-vane disc design strips rotating and unsprung mass from each rear corner, which sharpens turn-in response and eases the load on the AYC hydraulics that lean on the rear brakes during hard cornering. With three pad compounds to choose from, Street, Sport and Racing, you can match bite and heat tolerance to how the car is actually used, from road-biased weekends to full track sessions. The result on a 4G63-powered Evo VIII is a firmer, more progressive rear pedal feel that holds its character as temperatures climb, and a rear axle that keeps doing its job through long braking zones into the slow corners this car was built to attack.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit centres on a lightweight hollow-vane two-piece floating disc engineered to shed heat faster and weigh less than the cast item it replaces, cutting the rotating mass at the rear axle. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard. The kit is offered with three pad compound options, Street for road use, Sport for fast-road and occasional track work, and Racing for sustained circuit abuse, so the friction package can be specified to the duty cycle rather than compromised across all of them. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable when you order. Calipers are finished in a choice of the included no-cost colours, Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged and candy options, letting the rear setup match a front kit or the car’s wider build. As a rear-position kit it is intended to complement a front big brake upgrade, balancing the bias rather than overpowering the front axle.
