XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Mazda RX-8 SE3P (2003-2012)

The RX-8 SE3P carries its weight low and near the centreline, and on a circuit it rewards a driver who trails the brakes deep and lets the rear axle help rotate the car. The standard rear setup is the weak point in that game: composed enough on the road, but quick to lose bite once you start stacking laps and leaning on the engine braking that the high-revving 13B encourages. This rear big brake kit attacks the problem at the back axle, where RX-8 owners feel it first.

The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Mazda RX-8 SE3P (2003-2012) pairs hollow-construction discs with a fixed caliper to firm up pedal feel and hold temperature through repeated heavy stops. It is the rear half of a balanced upgrade, a pair of left and right rear calipers with matched discs, for owners who split their time between track days and fast-road miles.

What this brake kit does for your 2003-2012 Mazda RX-8 SE3P

The hollow disc design trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear corners, which the light SE3P feels as sharper turn-in and a pedal that stays consistent deeper into a session. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match rear bite to how the car is used, from daily driving through fast-road work to sustained circuit sessions where rear balance governs how confidently you can trail-brake. Stronger, more progressive rear braking also helps settle the tail under load, so the RX-8’s natural rotation stays controllable rather than nervous. The net effect is a firmer pedal, less fade, and a back axle that does its share of the work.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The kit replaces the modest factory rear brakes with two-piece floating, hollow-vane discs and a matched caliper sized for the RX-8’s rear corner. The hollow construction keeps thermal capacity up while shedding weight, which is the priority on a car this light. Discs are offered drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized centre bells in five colours or titanium selectable at checkout. Pad compound is a build choice: Street for road use, Sport for spirited fast-road driving, and Racing for circuit sessions that punish a rear axle. The hollow-body caliper is standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C, no dust cover and a two-year warranty for serious track use. Calipers are finished in the included painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black), a Custom Color matched to any Pantone, or the premium polished and candy ranges, so the rear setup can match the front and the wheel choice. Everything here is specified for the rear position only; pair it with a front kit for a complete, balanced overhaul.
