Fits Subaru FORESTER (SK) (2018-2026)

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 — Subaru FORESTER (SK) (2018-2026) — 356 mm
356 mm

The SK-generation Forester carries a lot of mass up high and channels it through symmetrical all-wheel drive, so the rear axle does more braking work than the soft factory hardware lets on. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit addresses that directly, adding rear stopping capacity and heat tolerance to a car that spends its life loaded, towing, or hauling itself down long descents.

Fit this kit when the standard rear setup starts to feel vague after a steep alpine run or a fully laden motorway tow. It is a rear-axle upgrade, a matched pair of rear calipers and two-piece floating discs, built to restore brake balance and bite on the 2018-2026 Subaru Forester, with pad compound and caliper finish chosen to suit how you actually drive.

What this big brake kit does for your 2018-2026 Subaru Forester

Upgrading the rear brakes sharpens pedal response and steadies the Forester’s balance under heavy braking, where the tall Subaru Global Platform body otherwise leans on the fronts and lets the rear go light. You get firmer initial bite, more consistent feel as temperatures climb, and noticeably less fade when the car is loaded or descending on a trailing throttle. The three pad compounds let you match the kit to use: Street for road manners and low dust, Sport for harder fast-road work, Racing for sustained high heat. The two-piece floating discs trim rotating and unsprung mass at the rear, which the AWD Forester feels as crisper turn-in and a more settled tail.

About the rear big brake kit

The rear kit is built around two-piece floating discs, whose hollow-vane internal structure sheds weight without giving up swept area and keeps rotating mass down at the back of the car, while the floating mount lets the friction ring expand under heat without warping its alloy bell. Disc faces come drilled or slotted at the same price, chosen when you order. It is a rear-position kit, supplied as a caliper and disc package sized for the Forester rather than a universal fit. Three pad compounds cover the range from Street road use, through a Sport fast-road compound, to a Racing compound for repeated high-temperature stops. The caliper bodies are hollow-cast as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for track-focused cars that removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Calipers come in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a custom Pantone option, so the build can sit quietly behind the wheels or read as a deliberate statement. Everything is specified for the rear axle, where the extra capacity does the most to rebalance a nose-led AWD wagon.

Fitment for the Subaru Forester (SK) (2018-2026)

This kit is cut for the SK-chassis Subaru Forester built from 2018 to 2026, fitting the rear axle. Confirm your car carries the SK chassis code and falls inside that year span before ordering.

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.
