XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Tesla MODEL S PLAID (2023-2026)

At more than two tonnes with over 1,000bhp on tap, the Model S Plaid asks more of its rear brakes than almost any saloon on a UK road. The drivetrain reaches three figures in seconds, and the friction brakes spend their life hauling that mass back down again. Regenerative braking masks the strain on a commute, but on a track day or a committed B-road run the rear discs do genuine work, and that is where a standard rear setup starts to fade.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Tesla Model S Plaid is the rear half of a proper big brake upgrade for that exact load, supplied as a matched pair of left and right corners. The two-piece floating disc trims rotating mass while the larger disc and caliper give the rear axle the thermal headroom to keep biting through repeated hard stops rather than going long and soft.

What this brake kit does for your 2023-2026 Tesla Model S Plaid

The benefit you feel first is consistency: a heavier, larger rear disc soaks up and sheds heat better, so pedal travel and bite stay predictable from your first stop to your last. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the rear axle to how you actually drive the Plaid, from quiet daily running through fast road to sustained track sessions where pad fade is the real enemy. Adding rear stopping power also helps balance a car that throws a lot of weight forward under heavy braking, steadying the chassis as you trail into a corner. And with painted caliper colour options at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, plus a Custom Pantone, the kit looks the part behind the wheels without shouting about it.

About the Hollow brake kit

The Hollow series centres on a two-piece floating disc, where the friction ring floats against an alloy bell to cut rotating and unsprung mass at each rear corner, a meaningful gain on a car as heavy as the Plaid. As a big brake kit, it upsizes the rear disc and pairs it with a performance caliper, a hollow-cast forging as standard, raising the thermal ceiling so the brakes resist fade under the repeated high-energy stops a 1,000bhp EV generates; a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty is available for dedicated circuit use. Pad compound is specified to suit the job: the Street compound for road use, the Sport compound for harder fast-road driving and occasional track work, and the Racing compound for circuit work where consistency under heat matters most. Painted caliper colours come at no cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150 plus premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange finishes; disc faces are drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell upgrades to a five-colour anodized two-tone or titanium at checkout. It is engineered as a rear-axle kit, designed to complement a front upgrade rather than work alone.
