Caliper render for this kit:

The Mk3 Scirocco carries most of its mass over the nose, so the rear axle spends its life lightly loaded – which is exactly why the standard rear discs glaze and lose feel on a circuit while the fronts are still doing the real work. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Volkswagen Scirocco (2008-2017) puts a larger disc at the back to restore brake balance and keep rear retardation honest under repeat heavy stops.
Built around a hollow-vane disc to shed rotating and unsprung mass, this rear kit suits owners running the PQ35-platform Scirocco – from the 2.0 TDI GT to the 265bhp Scirocco R – who want stable pedal feel across a full session rather than a single big stop.
What this big brake kit does for your 2008-2017 Volkswagen Scirocco
On a front-driven coupe like the Scirocco, the payoff from a rear upgrade is stability under braking. A larger rear disc adds thermal mass, so the back axle resists fade and holds a steady bias when you trail-brake into a tightening corner. The hollow-vane disc trims weight at each rear corner, which sharpens how quickly the wheels respond to brake and throttle inputs. Run the Racing pad compound and the rear stays composed deep into a track session instead of going soft after a handful of hard stops; the Street compound gives quieter, lower-dust manners for daily use, with Sport adding more bite and heat range for a spirited fast-road run. The net effect is a Scirocco that settles on turn-in and rotates more willingly, because the rear is finally carrying its share of the braking load.
About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit
The Hollow Rear Brake Kit takes its name from its hollow-vane disc, which removes material where it isn’t needed to lower rotating and unsprung mass without giving up the swept area and heat capacity a track rear demands. The two-piece floating discs are supplied as a matched left-and-right pair and run on a position-specific rear caliper sized for the Scirocco’s rear hub. That caliper is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. XYZ Racing offers three pad compounds: Street for quiet, low-dust everyday driving, Sport for fast-road drivers who want more initial bite and heat tolerance, and Racing for circuit work where outright fade resistance matters most. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. Calipers can be specified in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with Custom Color in any Pantone, polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold or Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red or Orange, so the hardware behind the wheels matches the rest of the car. It is a bolt-on rear setup aimed squarely at lifting thermal headroom over the factory brakes.
Fitment for the Volkswagen Scirocco (2008-2017)

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.
