Fits Honda PRELUDE BB8 (1996-2001)

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 — Honda PRELUDE BB8 (1996-2001) — 330 mm
330 mm

The BB8 Prelude carries its mass over the front axle, and Honda sized the factory rear discs to match: small, lightly loaded, and quick to overheat once you start braking in anger. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit for the Honda Prelude BB8 attacks that imbalance directly, giving the back axle the thermal headroom it never had as standard.

This is a rear-axle kit built around drilled or slotted two-piece rotors and a fixed caliper, aimed at restoring brake balance on a chassis that leans hard on its fronts. Trail-braking into a corner, or scrubbing speed before a tight second-gear hairpin, a stronger rear end keeps the Prelude settled rather than nervous.

What this brake kit does for your 1996-2001 Honda Prelude BB8

On the road you get a firmer, more progressive pedal and rear brakes that stop fading after a run of hard stops. On track the gains grow: the hollow-vane rotor sheds heat and rotating mass, so the rear axle holds its bite through a session instead of going soft halfway in. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, let you match friction and temperature range to how you actually drive, from the commute to circuit days. Better rear braking sharpens turn-in too, because a front-heavy Prelude that can finally use its back axle under braking rotates more willingly toward the apex.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The kit takes its name from the hollow-vane rotor construction, which machines mass out of the disc to cut unsprung and rotating weight while opening cooling paths through the casting. The two-piece floating rotors run cooler under sustained load, and paired with a hollow-bodied fixed caliper the system clamps stiffer and more directly than the sliding factory arrangement. 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, so the hardware behind the spokes matches the rest of the car. Pad choice spans Street, Sport and Racing compounds, each with its own heat tolerance and bite, and discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. It is a bolt-on rear upgrade dimensioned around the Prelude’s rear hub and mounting geometry.

Fitment for the Honda Prelude BB8 (1996-2001)

This kit fits the BB8-chassis Honda Prelude built from 1996 to 2001. It is sold as a position-specific rear kit and mounts to the rear axle. Confirm your chassis code and year against the listing 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.
