Caliper render for this kit:

The Tiguan MK2 carries its mass high and well forward, and on a 1.5-tonne-plus MQB SUV that weight has to be hauled down by rear brakes specified for school-run duty rather than sustained hard use. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Volkswagen Tiguan MK2 goes straight at the rear axle, adding thermal headroom and a firmer, more progressive pedal exactly where the factory setup starts to fade and feel wooden.
On a 4MOTION car loaded with passengers and gear, or a front-driven Tiguan pushed down a long Alpine descent, the rear brakes do quiet but important work managing balance and shedding heat. This kit pairs hollow-vane, drilled discs with a choice of pad compound, so the rear of the car can be matched to how it is actually driven rather than to a one-size-fits-all OEM compromise.
What this rear brake kit does for your 2016-2026 Volkswagen Tiguan MK2
The hollow-vane disc vents braking gases and trims rotating mass at the rear axle, which sharpens initial bite and keeps the pedal consistent through repeat stops on a heavy SUV. Three pad compounds – Street, Sport and Racing – let you choose between quiet daily manners and the higher-temperature grip a track day or fully-laden tow run demands. On the road you feel it as a rear axle that settles the car under braking instead of squirming, with less heat-soak after a sequence of hard slowdowns. The caliper colour options, from Red and Yellow through to Gold or a Custom finish, mean the upgrade looks deliberate behind an open rear wheel rather than an afterthought.
About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit
This is a bolt-on rear brake upgrade built around hollow-vane, cross-drilled discs that lighten the rotor and give trapped gas and dust somewhere to escape under load, supplied as a matched left-and-right pair of two-piece floating discs. The caliper is hollow-cast as standard, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for circuit and high-load use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The kit ships with calipers finished in your chosen colour and a pad compound selected when you order: Street for quiet, low-dust road use, Sport for a firmer fast-road bite, and Racing for circuit and high-load work where pad fade is the enemy. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines keep the pedal firm under heat. 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. The emphasis is on rear-axle thermal capacity and pedal consistency rather than headline numbers, which is what a tall, nose-heavy crossover like the Tiguan actually benefits from. It is engineered with a matched front-and-rear philosophy, so specifying the rear kit keeps brake balance sensible if you are also addressing the front.

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.
