XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Volkswagen T5 VAN (2003-2015)

The T5 carries its mass like nothing in a car park – a kerb weight comfortably north of two tonnes before you bolt in a camper conversion, load the payload, or hitch a trailer to the back. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Volkswagen T5 VAN (2003-2015) takes on the rear axle’s share of hauling all that weight down, swapping the factory rear setup for larger, hollow-vane disc hardware built to shed heat when the van is working hard.

For owners running their T5 heavy – day-van and full camper builds, tow rigs, high-mileage workhorses leaning on the brakes down long motorway descents – rear fade tends to be the limit long before anything up front cries off. This kit hands the back axle the thermal headroom it was never given as standard, with a choice of pad compound so the brakes match how you actually use the van.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2015 Volkswagen T5 VAN

Loaded braking is where you feel this kit. The hollow-vane disc runs cooler than the standard rear rotor, so the pedal stays firm and predictable on repeat stops rather than going long when the discs heat-soak under a full load. Choose the Street compound for quiet, low-dust everyday running, the Sport compound for a van that gets driven hard or tows, or the Racing compound if your T5 sees genuinely punishing use. Across all three you get more consistent rear bite and better fade resistance hauling a laden Transporter to a stop, plus a calmer, more planted feel when you brake into a corner with weight over the back axle.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is XYZ Racing’s heat-management answer for the rear of a heavy platform, supplied as a matched left-and-right pair. The hollow-vane construction of the two-piece floating disc cuts rotating mass and opens up extra surface area for cooling, which is exactly what a laden van needs when the rear brakes are doing real work rather than just balancing the fronts. The kit pairs those discs with an uprated caliper that is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for the hardest-worked vans that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Pad compound is specified when you order – Street, Sport or Racing – letting you tune the rear axle’s bite and temperature window to the van’s job. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. Calipers are finished 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 to suit the build. It is a bolt-on rear upgrade engineered specifically to lift thermal capacity and pedal consistency on a platform that asks a lot of its brakes.
