XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Porsche 996 C2 (1998-2004)

The 996 C2 carries its flat-six behind the rear axle, and that mass never lets the back brakes off lightly. Trail into a fast corner, lift, and the weight pivots rearward exactly where heat builds quickest. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit is built to keep that axle composed when a standard 996 rear setup starts to fade.

It is a rear-specific kit for the water-cooled 911 – a matched pair of left and right calipers and two uprated discs – sized for the way a rear-engined Carrera actually uses its brakes rather than a generic bolt-on. With three pad compounds and a free choice of caliper finishes, you spec it for road use, mixed road-and-circuit, or harder track days without changing the kit itself.

What this brake kit does for your 1998-2004 Porsche 996 C2

On a rear-biased chassis like the 996 C2, the back axle does more retardation work than most owners expect, so a stronger rear kit pays back directly in pedal consistency over repeated stops. The hollow-vane construction trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear corners, which sharpens turn-in response and lets the dampers work cleaner over kerbs and broken Tarmac. Step up to the Racing pad compound and you get higher fade resistance for back-to-back sessions; the Sport compound handles fast road and the odd lap, and the Street compound keeps cold bite and low dust for daily driving. Caliper colour – Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no cost, with premium finishes available – lets the finish match the car behind open-spoke wheels.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow name points to a lightened, hollow-vane disc design that reduces rotating and unsprung weight at the rear axle, where a rear-engined 911 carries its bulk. The rotors are two-piece floating discs run on braided lines, keeping the face flat and the pedal firm under heat. The kit is offered with three pad compounds: a Street option for quiet, dust-light braking, a Sport compound tuned for harder fast-road work, and a Racing compound for higher operating temperatures and sustained heavy use. Calipers are hollow-bodied as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, rated 1000C, two-year warranty) for hard circuit work. Painted finishes 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 position-specific to the rear, it targets the exact end of the 996 that loads up under braking and corner entry, rather than treating the car as a single generic platform.
