Fits Toyota RAV4 (XA40) (2012-2018)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Toyota RAV4 (XA40) (2012-2018) — 330 mm
330 mm

The XA40 RAV4 carries its mass high and forward, which leaves the rear axle handling the lighter share of the braking and the standard rear discs working hard once the car is loaded with passengers, luggage or a trailer. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Toyota RAV4 (XA40) tackles that by swapping the modest factory rear setup for a larger, lighter two-piece floating rotor clamped by a fixed caliper that holds temperature better than the original sliding arrangement.

This is a rear-axle upgrade, supplied as a left-and-right pair, aimed at owners who actually load their RAV4: long alpine descents, motorway slogs, towing and roof-rack trips, rather than the school run alone. Paired with the front brakes, it keeps the crossover settled and the pedal consistent through the repeated heavy stops where the stock rear discs run short of thermal headroom.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Toyota RAV4 (XA40)

The first thing you feel on a 2012-2018 Toyota RAV4 (XA40) is a firmer, more linear rear pedal that no longer goes long after a series of hard stops. The two-piece floating rotor strips rotating and unsprung weight off the rear corners, which helps the suspension settle quicker over broken surfaces. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match the bite and heat tolerance to how the car is actually used. And the fixed caliper resists flex far better than the factory single-piston slider, so braking effort stays predictable when the rear is loaded.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow line runs a hollow-body caliper as standard, cast with internal voids to cut weight at the corner without losing rigidity, clamping a weight-saving two-piece floating rotor that trims mass without sacrificing the swept area you need on a heavy crossover. The rear kit pairs that rotor with the rigid fixed caliper and a choice of three pad compounds, so the same hardware suits a road-biased RAV4 or a harder-worked, fully laden one. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells. Painted calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged and candy finishes to suit the look behind your wheels, and a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C for the hardest use. It is engineered as a rear-specific kit, balancing the upgraded fronts rather than overpowering them.

Fitment for the Toyota RAV4 (XA40) (2012-2018)

This kit (SKU XYZ-BRK-BKR-TO-014-REAR) is matched to the XA40-generation Toyota RAV4 built between 2012 and 2018, fitting the rear axle only as a left-and-right pair. Confirm your chassis code falls in that year span before ordering.

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.
