XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Volvo V60 MK1 (2010-2018)

The Volvo V60 MK1 is a heavy, nose-led estate, and its rear brakes were specified for refined daily stops rather than for shedding heat under repeated hard use. On a quick T5, T6 or five-cylinder D5 V60 – and especially on a tuned or Polestar-flavoured one – the modest rear discs are usually the first thing to complain when you start braking later and harder. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Volvo V60 MK1 (2010-2018) tackles that directly, pairing larger hollow-vane discs with an uprated caliper to add thermal headroom at the back of the car.

This is a rear-axle upgrade aimed at brake balance and heat management, not a cosmetic swap. Giving the back of the V60 more bite and fade resistance lets it carry its share of the work, so a fast estate that runs out of rear brake first instead stays settled and square as you load the pedal.

What this brake kit does for your 2010-2018 Volvo V60 MK1

The benefit you feel first is a firmer, more repeatable pedal once the brakes are hot – the larger hollow-vane discs hold more heat before fade sets in, which matters on a car this heavy on a downhill run or a loaded motorway descent. The hollow-vane disc also trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle, helping the dampers keep the back tyres planted over mid-corner bumps. With Street, Sport and Racing pad compounds to choose from, you can match the rear bite to how you actually drive your V60 MK1, from quiet daily refinement to a harder track-biased setup. The result is a brake balance that supports the front axle rather than fighting it, plus the rear-end stability you want when trail-braking a long-wheelbase estate.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The Hollow Rear Brake Kit takes its name from its lightweight hollow-vane disc, which removes material from the rotor to cut weight while preserving the swept area and venting needed to manage heat. Supplied as a matched left-and-right pair, the two-piece floating discs sit behind a bigger caliper to increase clamping leverage and surface area over the factory rear setup. That caliper is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for harder track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Pad compound is selectable across Street, Sport and Racing options, so the same hardware suits a refined road car or a harder-used weekend track tool. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. The caliper is offered 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, letting the kit either disappear behind the wheels or stand out as part of the build. It is a focused rear-axle package designed to restore brake balance on cars whose front brakes outclass the originals at the back.
