Fits Ford ESCORT COSWORTH (1992-1995)

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 — Ford ESCORT COSWORTH (1992-1995) — 380 mm
380 mm

The Escort Cosworth sends two-thirds of its drive rearward through the Ferguson-derived centre diff, so the rear axle on these cars works far harder than a glance at the four-wheel-drive badge suggests. This XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Ford Escort Cosworth swaps the original rear setup for a lighter hollow-vane disc design that sheds heat across repeat stops rather than soaking it up and fading.

For a 227bhp YB-engined homologation car that owners now drive on fast road, the odd track day, and historic events, the rear brakes are usually the neglected end. Supplied as a matched pair of rear calipers and discs, this kit rebalances that, giving the back axle the bite to match a front upgrade and the thermal headroom the standard rear discs never had.

What this brake kit does for your 1992-1995 Ford Escort Cosworth

On a rear-biased 4WD platform, weak rear braking shows up as a long, vague pedal and a car that runs deep into corners under trail braking. Fitting this rear kit firms the pedal and restores front-to-rear balance, so the Cosworth settles on its nose instead of pushing. The hollow-vane disc design cuts rotating and unsprung mass at the rear, which the live-feeling back axle of the Escort responds well to over broken B-roads. With the Racing pad compound fitted you get repeatable stopping through successive hard applications instead of the glazing and fade that overheated standard rears suffer, while Sport suits fast-road use and Street keeps the car easy on the daily commute.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear brake kit is named for its lightweight hollow-vane construction, which reduces mass at the rotor while keeping a vented friction face to manage heat. It pairs uprated two-piece floating discs, offered drilled or slotted at the same price and fed by braided lines, with a hollow-body caliper as standard; for track and competition heat you can specify the optional Hollow Racing upgrade, which runs without a dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. Three pad compounds cover the range of use: Street for everyday driving, Sport for harder fast-road work, and Racing for track and competition heat. Painted calipers are offered in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with any Pantone shade as a Custom Color for a small upcharge, plus premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver), candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange), and two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium to match your build. The kit is engineered as a direct rear-axle upgrade for the Escort Cosworth, complementing a front big brake setup so the whole car brakes in balance rather than leaning on one axle.

Fitment for the Ford Escort Cosworth (1992-1995)

This kit is specified for the Ford Escort Cosworth across the 1992 to 1995 model years, covering both the early big-turbo and later small-turbo cars. It is a rear-position kit, designed to bolt to the Cosworth’s rear axle. Confirm your year against the options above 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.
