Fits Subaru BRZ (2012-2020)

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 — Subaru BRZ (2012-2020) — 286 mm
286 mm

The ZC6 BRZ arrives with a chassis that rewards commitment on a B-road or circuit, but the factory braking hardware is the first thing to reveal its limits when the car is used properly. The Sumitomo single-piston sliding calipers and 294mm front discs manage the FA20’s outputs adequately on the road, yet repeated late braking into the same corner asks questions they were never sized to answer. The XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit replaces that package with larger-diameter hardware that finally keeps pace with the rest of the car.

This is a front-axle kit: a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the left and right corners, configured to how the car is genuinely used through a choice of pad compound, disc style and caliper finish, from daily road driving to circuit sessions where heat management becomes the primary variable.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2020 Subaru BRZ

Upgraded front brakes transform how the BRZ enters a corner. The factory Sumitomo unit flexes under hard braking; the hardware in this kit sharpens initial bite and makes pedal travel more predictable, which matters more on a car this light than on something where sheer mass can mask imprecision into a bend. The hollow-vane disc construction draws cooling air through the rotor body so heat sheds continuously rather than soaking in, deferring the fade the OEM setup hits under sustained use. The two-piece floating discs run an aluminium centre bell bolted to an iron friction ring, keeping the disc true through repeated heat cycles and trimming rotating mass at the wheel, which sharpens turn-in and lets the suspension settle more cleanly over surface changes.

Three pad compounds match the friction to the use. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default; Sport adds bite and heat range for fast road with the occasional track day; Racing is a full circuit compound for drivers chasing consistency across a longer session. Braided stainless lines are included for a firmer, more repeatable pedal than rubber hoses that swell under pressure.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The hollow-vane name describes the disc’s internal ventilation. Cooling channels run through the rotor body and draw air across the friction surfaces while the wheel turns, so heat clears into the airstream instead of building with nowhere to go. The calipers are hollow-body as standard for stiffness without excess weight, and the kit covers the front axle as a pair because that is where the BRZ concentrates its braking load under deceleration.

Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, so you can choose on looks or wet-weather feel. Included caliper finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color to any Pantone code for a small upcharge. Premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) sit in a separate upgrade tier. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or a titanium bell, are selectable at checkout. For serious track use there is an optional Hollow Racing caliper, run without a dust cover, rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty.

Fitment for the Subaru BRZ (2012-2020)

This kit covers the Subaru BRZ ZC6 across its full production run from 2012 to 2020, spanning both standard and Premium variants sold in the UK market, and fits the front axle as a left-and-right pair. Confirm your chassis is the first-generation ZC6 before ordering. The second-generation GR86/BRZ on the ZD8 platform, launched in 2021, is a separate fitment and is not compatible with this kit.

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.
