XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Porsche 993 CARRERA-2 (1993-1998)

With the air-cooled flat-six slung out behind the rear axle, the Porsche 993 Carrera-2 leans on its rear brakes harder than almost any front-engined coupe of its era. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit answers that with a lighter, higher-capacity rear setup built around the rearward weight bias that defines the last air-cooled 911.

This is a rear brake kit – a matched pair of left and right calipers and two uprated discs – for owners who use a 993 Carrera-2 as intended: fast road, the occasional track day, and long Alpine descents where heat soak is the real enemy. It upgrades disc and caliper at the rear axle and offers a choice of pad compound, so the back of the car keeps biting long after a standard setup has gone wooden.

What this brake kit does for your 1993-1998 Porsche 993 Carrera-2

On a rear-engined 911, the back axle carries the engine’s mass into every braking zone, so rear fade announces itself as a long, vague pedal and a tail that squirms under trail-braking. The Hollow rear kit adds thermal headroom exactly where the 993 needs it. The hollow-vane disc trims rotating and unsprung mass, which the 993’s multi-link rear end – a clean break from the old semi-trailing-arm 911s – rewards with cleaner response over bumps. Fit the Racing compound and the pedal stays firm through repeated heavy stops; the Sport compound covers spirited fast-road work, and the Street compound keeps cold-bite and low dust for road use. The included caliper finishes, from understated Black to Gold, let the upgrade read as quiet or loud as you want behind the wheel.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit is XYZ Racing’s lightweight approach to a rear big brake upgrade. The name points to the disc design: a hollow-vane, lighter rotor that cuts rotating mass and helps the disc shed heat against a solid equivalent. The rotors are two-piece floating discs run on braided lines, keeping the face flat and the pedal firm under heat. The kit ships with three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – so the same hardware suits a daily-driven 993, a committed fast-road car, or a coupe that sees regular circuit running. Calipers are hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, rated 1000C, two-year warranty) for hard track use. Painted caliper 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. Because it is sold as a position-specific rear application, it is sized to balance against the front axle rather than overwhelm it, preserving the front-to-rear bias the 993 Carrera-2 relies on for stability under load.
