XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Opel VECTRA B (1995-2002)

The Opel Vectra B carries most of its mass over the front axle, and from the factory the rear brakes were specified for service life rather than repeated heavy stops. On a fast-road or trackday car that leaves the back end doing too little work, so the fronts cook first and pedal travel grows as the session wears on. This rear big brake kit rebalances that equation.

It swaps the standard arrangement for a larger vented rear disc clamped by a fixed caliper, supplied as a matched pair of left and right calipers with two uprated discs, so the rear axle finally contributes its share under braking. The result on a Vectra B is a shorter, more repeatable stop and a pedal that holds firm when you are working it hard down a quick B-road or into a circuit’s heavier braking zones.

What this brake kit does for your 1995-2002 Opel Vectra B

On the Opel Vectra B the first thing you feel after fitting is a firmer, more progressive pedal, because the bigger vented rotor sheds heat instead of soaking it into the fluid. With the rear axle pulling its weight, the car settles more squarely under braking and the nose-led pitch that these saloons are prone to is reined in. Three pad compounds let you match the bite to the use: Street for daily running, Sport for spirited road work, and Racing for sustained circuit abuse. Caliper finishes run from Red, Yellow, Gold and Black through to Anodized Black, with premium options if you want them, so the look behind the wheel is yours to set.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit takes its name from the hollow-vane disc construction, which pares rotational and unsprung mass out of the rear corners without giving up swept area. The vented rotor moves air through its core to keep operating temperatures down across longer stints, where a solid factory disc would begin to fade, and the two-piece floating design keeps the face flat as it expands. Braided lines firm up the pedal, and the disc mounts to a fixed caliper for a stiffer, more consistent clamp than the sliding single-piston unit it replaces. The three-stage pad menu – Street, Sport and Racing – means the same hardware suits a road Vectra B or one that sees regular lapping, simply by changing the compound to suit the workload. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, rated 1000C, two-year warranty) for hard track use. Painted colours are included free in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black; a Custom Color in any Pantone is +£150, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange finishes available. Discs are drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable at checkout.
