Fits Honda PRELUDE BB1 (1991-1996)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Honda PRELUDE BB1 (1991-1996) — 304 mm
304 mm

The BB1 Prelude’s front axle carries a triple burden that most platforms never face: it drives, steers, and stops the car simultaneously. Under hard braking from the H22A’s VTEC-range velocities, where the engine’s character changes sharply above 5,400rpm and the chassis starts to earn its keep, heat builds rapidly in the front calipers, and the standard setup’s limits become apparent sooner than you would expect from a car this capable.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit is the direct answer to that loading. Three pad compounds mean the same kit covers the BB1 driven as a cherished fast-road car or pushed harder at track days, without needing a separate brake build for each use case.

What this brake kit does for your 1991-1996 Honda PRELUDE BB1

Front-wheel drive means the braking forces concentrate entirely on this axle, with no rear-drive bias to share the load. On a Prelude BB1 running hard, particularly into tight hairpins where the trail-braking window matters, fade resistance at the front end is the difference between consistent corner entry and increasing anxiety over successive runs. Upgraded front calipers and two-piece floating discs reduce the heat soak that standard brakes accumulate under repeated hard stops, maintaining pedal feel where it starts to go vague on standard equipment. Three pad compounds let you calibrate bite and release to suit the BB1’s front-heavy braking balance: Street for quiet, low-dust daily and spirited road use, Sport for harder fast-road work and the odd track outing, and Racing for serious track sessions where you are consistently loading the front tyres to their limit. Caliper colour is set when you order from Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, all included at no extra cost, so the kit suits whatever the BB1’s exterior calls for, a matched finish or a deliberate contrast.

About the XYZ Racing Hollow Big Brake Kit

This is a front-axle upgrade designed for Honda platforms where the standard braking package becomes the limiting factor before the chassis or engine do. The caliper is a hollow-body forging as standard, paired with two-piece floating discs and braided lines. Three pad compounds (Street, Sport and Racing) give owners a direct route from road-biased daily driving through to full track use without sourcing pads separately or changing systems. For serious track work the optional Hollow Racing caliper deletes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium. Beyond the included caliper colours, you can specify a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) or candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange). The front-only position on this fitment addresses the Prelude BB1’s most heavily loaded brake axle, where FWD drive forces and braking load sit entirely on the front circuit.

Fitment for the Honda PRELUDE BB1 (1991-1996)

This kit is built for the fourth-generation Honda Prelude in BB1 specification, covering the 1991 to 1996 model years. It mounts to the front axle of the BB1 chassis. Confirm your variant against the BB1 chassis code and cross-reference the front hub specification before ordering if your car has been subject to any previous brake or hub modifications.

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 286–380mm (front). 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.
