XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Nissan QUEST 3.5 SE (2003-2009)

The third-generation Nissan Quest carries close to two tonnes once you load it with passengers and luggage, and the moment you press the brake pedal nearly all of that mass pitches forward onto the nose. That leaves the rear axle doing far less than it could, and on a long motorway descent with a full cabin the front discs take the punishment while the back end barely contributes. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Nissan Quest 3.5 SE exists to correct that imbalance.

Built around hollow-vane two-piece floating discs and a multi-piston caliper and supplied as a matched pair of left and right rear corners, this kit gives the Quest’s back axle the thermal headroom to take a proper share of the stop. The VQ35DE V6 hauls this MPV along faster than its tall bodyshell suggests, and giving the rear brakes the capacity to match that pace is the whole reason for the upgrade.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2009 Nissan Quest 3.5 SE

On a heavy front-wheel-drive people carrier, the rear brakes are the first thing to fade and the last thing owners think to improve. Fit this kit and the difference shows up under repeated heavy braking: the back axle stays effective when the standard setup would have given up, so the pedal holds firm rather than going long after a few hard stops with the family aboard. The larger discs shed heat faster, which keeps braking consistent on alpine descents and loaded motorway runs, and the two-piece floating construction lets them expand evenly under heat instead of coning. Pad compound is your tuning lever: Street for everyday duty, Sport for firmer bite on a daily Quest, and Racing, the track compound, for the hardest use. The fixed multi-piston caliper also tightens up pedal feel, replacing the vague travel of a worn factory rear setup.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow name refers to the disc’s hollow internal vanes, which cut rotating mass and help the rotor dump heat rather than store it, what keeps a heavy vehicle’s brakes from glazing under sustained load. Each two-piece floating disc comes drilled or slotted at the same price, with a two-tone centre bell in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout. The kit replaces the rear caliper with a fixed, multi-piston hollow-body unit that clamps more evenly than a sliding factory caliper, and it runs on a larger-diameter disc to add leverage and surface area. Three pad compounds are offered, Street, Sport and Racing, so the kit suits anything from a sensibly driven family Quest to a much harder-used example. Included caliper finishes at no extra cost are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black; a Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy options in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. A Hollow Racing caliper is available for hard use, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty.
