Caliper render for this kit:

The T6 Transporter carries its mass high and largely over the rear axle, and once a van has become a camper conversion, a kitted-out day van or a fully crewed bus, the rear brakes are asked to do far more than VW’s commercial-van setup was specified for. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Volkswagen T6 VAN (2015-2022) targets exactly that weak point: the rear axle’s ability to shed heat and hold a firm pedal when the van is loaded or towing.
It is a rear-specific upgrade built around hollow-vane discs that cut rotating mass while improving cooling. With a choice of pad compound and caliper finish, it suits a working T6 that earns its keep heavy as readily as a tidied-up van build that wants stopping power to match its stance.
What this brake kit does for your 2015-2022 Volkswagen T6 VAN
On a T6 that regularly runs loaded, the rear axle does more of the braking work than most owners expect, and that is where heat builds. The hollow-vane disc sheds that heat faster and carries less rotating mass than the standard rear rotor, so the pedal stays firmer through repeated stops on a motorway slip road or a long Alpine descent with bikes on the back. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to use: Street for quiet, low-dust everyday running, Sport for a fast-road build, and Racing for the hardest work. The result on the Volkswagen T6 VAN is shorter, more consistent stops when the van is heavy, and a rear end that settles rather than grabbing under hard braking.
About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit
The Hollow Rear Brake Kit is a bolt-on upgrade for the T6’s rear axle, supplied as a matched left-and-right pair and built around two-piece floating discs with a hollow-vane internal structure that lowers weight without surrendering thermal capacity. Less mass at the wheel means the disc heats and cools more evenly, which is what keeps brake feel predictable when a loaded Transporter leans on the rears. The kit pairs those discs with an uprated caliper that is hollow-cast as standard, plus a Hollow Racing upgrade for the hardest-worked vans that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Caliper finishes are 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 suits everything from a discreet works van to a show-ready build. Pad compound is specified separately across Street, Sport and Racing options, letting you tune bite and temperature range to how the van is driven. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. As a rear kit it is designed to balance against the front brakes rather than overwhelm them, keeping the T6’s braking distribution sensible under load.

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.
