Caliper render for this kit:

The BB6 Prelude carries its mass over the nose, and on a fast-road or track-day car the rear axle ends up doing less braking work than it should. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Honda Prelude BB6 (1996-2001) addresses that directly: more rear clamping authority and a lighter rotating assembly, so the H22A-powered coupe settles and rotates rather than washing wide into understeer on corner entry.
Fifth-generation Prelude owners already know the chassis rewards a balanced setup, particularly the ATTS-equipped Type S cars that want to turn but are held back by a soft, front-biased brake balance. This rear kit gives you the rear-end bite to use trail-braking as a tool instead of fighting the nose-heavy layout.
What this brake kit does for your 1996-2001 Honda Prelude BB6
The hollow-vane disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at each rear corner, which the BB6 feels as quicker direction changes and less inertia for the suspension to manage over kerbs and mid-corner bumps. With more genuine rear braking effort on tap, you can shift the car’s balance under braking and tuck the front in on turn-in, the exact behaviour Prelude drivers chase to kill understeer. Pad compound is your tuning lever: the Street compound keeps road manners civilised and dust low, the Sport compound adds bite and heat tolerance for spirited B-road work, and the Racing compound holds up to repeat hard stops at a track day without the pedal going long. Across all three you get more consistent pedal feel once the rears are pulling their weight.
About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit
This is a rear-axle pair of discs and calipers built around hollow-vane rotors that reduce rotational weight while keeping thermal capacity for repeated heavy use. The caliper body is hollow as standard, and the two-piece floating discs help the rear run cooler through a session. It is offered with three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, so the kit can be specced for a daily Prelude, a fast-road build, or a car that sees regular circuit sessions. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. Calipers are finished in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange, or any Pantone shade as a custom colour. The design intent is straightforward: restore the rear-axle braking contribution that a tuned, harder-driven BB6 needs, and do it without piling on unsprung mass. Pair it with the matching front setup and you have a balanced, repeatable braking package rather than an over-front-biased factory system pushed past its comfort zone.
Fitment for the Honda Prelude BB6 (1996-2001)
This kit is specified for the Honda Prelude BB6 chassis across the 1996-2001 model years, covering the fifth-generation H22A cars including ATTS-equipped variants. It is a rear-position kit, so confirm your intended pad compound and caliper colour when you order; fit it alongside the matching front kit for a balanced front-to-rear setup.

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.
