Fits Lexus ES (XV60) (OE173) (2012-2018)

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 Rear Brake Kit — Lexus ES (XV60) (OE173) (2012-2018) — 380 mm
380 mm

The Lexus ES (XV60) carries the bulk of its mass over the front axle, a comfort-first luxury saloon built on Toyota’s V6 and hybrid running gear rather than anything designed to attack a B-road. That weight bias leaves the rear axle lightly loaded, and the standard rear discs doing fairly modest work. Fine on a relaxed commute; less convincing when the car is fully laden, descending a long gradient, or being hauled down from motorway speed more than once in quick succession.

This is where the XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit earns its place on the 2012-2018 ES. It is a rear-axle upgrade aimed at restoring balance front and rear, and giving the back of a heavy, softly sprung saloon more thermal headroom than the factory setup was ever asked to provide.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Lexus ES (XV60) (OE173)

On a car this size, consistent rear braking is what keeps the nose from doing all the work and the ABS from intervening early. The vaned hollow disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear, which sharpens pedal response and helps the back axle settle under load, and braided lines firm the pedal by removing OE hose swell. Three pad compounds let you match the rear to how you actually drive the ES: Street for quiet, low-dust daily use, Sport for firmer bite and a wider heat range on fast roads, and Racing for harder, repeated stops. The result is a firmer, more progressive pedal and noticeably better resistance to fade when the rear discs are made to work.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The kit replaces the factory rear discs and calipers as a matched package engineered specifically for the ES rear axle and supplied as a pair. The two-piece floating rotor with a vaned hollow core is the headline feature: removing material from the disc reduces rotating and unsprung weight without surrendering swept area. Disc faces are drilled or slotted at the same price. The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C and warranted two years for serious track use, plus braided lines to firm the pedal. Painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged and candy options, so the hardware suits the car rather than shouting over it. Pad compound is selectable across Street, Sport and Racing options, meaning the same kit serves a quiet luxury saloon or a more committed fast-road build depending on how you spec it.

Fitment for the Lexus ES (XV60) (OE173) (2012-2018)

This is a rear-position kit for the XV60-generation Lexus ES, OE reference OE173, covering the 2012 to 2018 model years and supplied as a matched pair. It is designed as a direct rear-axle fitment for that chassis; confirm your exact build year falls inside the range before ordering, then set your pad compound, disc style and caliper colour from the options when you order.

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.
