Caliper render for this kit:

Hang a flat-six behind the rear axle and the back brakes earn their keep. On the Porsche 997 C4S, that rearward mass means the rear discs shoulder a larger share of every stop than they would on a front-engined car, and on a circuit that share only grows as you trail the brakes deep towards an apex. The XYZ Racing rear big brake kit is built to carry that load on the wide-body C4S without the pedal going long.
This is the rear-axle half of the upgrade for the 2006-2011 Porsche 997 C4S, fitted as a matched pair: two-piece floating discs to shed rotating mass, clamped by a fixed caliper, with a choice of pad compound to suit how hard the car actually gets used. It is for owners who lean on the 997’s pace rather than admire it parked.
What this brake kit does for your 2006-2011 Porsche 997 C4S
The two-piece floating disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at each rear corner, so the brakes come up to working temperature quicker and the rear suspension has less inertia to control over kerbs and mid-corner bumps. The floating mount lets the rotor expand under heat without coning, holding its shape through a session. A rigid fixed caliper firms up pedal feel and holds it consistent as the discs heat, which is exactly what the rear of a rearward-biased 911 asks for under repeated heavy stops. Match the pad compound to your use and you get rear braking that stays predictable from a cold first lap through a full track session, with no drama on the road home.
About the hollow rear brake kit
The kit pairs two-piece floating discs with a fixed-mount caliper sized for the rear of the 997 C4S. Pad compound is your call: Street for everyday driving, Sport for harder fast-road use, and Racing for circuit work where outright bite and fade resistance matter more than cold feel. Disc faces come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium. Caliper finish is offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Pantone Custom Color for £150, so the hardware behind the wheel suits the car. Premium polished-forged and candy finishes are available, and for hard track duty there is an optional Hollow Racing caliper – no dust cover, rated to 1000C, with a two-year warranty. The whole package is engineered to put more thermal headroom and a firmer pedal at the rear axle than the factory setup provides.

Choosing your spec
Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.
Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing
Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.
Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.
Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing
Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.
Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 330–356mm (rear). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish
Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).
Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.
Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).


Centre bells
The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
