Fits Subaru LEGACY φ 265/ φ 171 (1994-1999)

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.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
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 LEGACY φ 265/ φ 171 (1994-1999) — 330 mm
330 mm

The second-generation Legacy, the BD saloon and BG Touring Wagon, earned its name on loose surfaces and fast A-roads, but its standard rear brakes were never built for the heat of repeated hard stops. This XYZ Racing Hollow rear big brake kit for the 1994-1999 Subaru Legacy fits a 265mm two-piece floating disc behind the rear hubs, with the φ171 drum-in-hat retained so the handbrake works exactly as Subaru intended.

It is supplied as a matched pair of left and right rear corners. For a car that rotates on the throttle the way the Legacy does, sharper and more consistent rear braking is what keeps the back axle settled when you trail the pedal into a corner.

What this brake kit does for your 1994-1999 Subaru Legacy

On the road you feel it first as bite: the 265mm rear disc gives the pedal a firmer, more progressive response than the tired OE setup most surviving Legacys are running by now. Under repeated stops, on a downhill B-road, a circuit session, or simply hauling a loaded Touring Wagon down from speed, the two-piece floating rotor keeps pad temperatures in check and resists the fade that turns the pedal long and soft. Three pad compounds let you match the kit to use: Street for daily commuting, Sport for fast-road bite with the occasional track day, and Racing for sustained circuit heat. Because the φ171 drum-in-hat is carried over, you keep a proper mechanical handbrake for hill starts and the MOT.

About the rear big brake kit

This is a bolt-on rear upgrade built around a 265mm two-piece floating disc and a matched caliper, sized specifically to the second-gen Legacy’s rear hub geometry. The floating disc lets the friction ring expand against an alloy bell, keeping the rotor flat and venting heat so the friction surface stays clean and the pedal stays consistent as the brakes get hot; the caliper body is a hollow-cast forging as standard for rigidity and a firm pedal. The caliper is painted Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150 plus premium polished-forged and candy finishes, so the look behind a set of open-spoke wheels is yours to set. Disc faces come drilled or slotted at the same price, the centre bell upgrades to a five-colour anodized two-tone or titanium at checkout, and a Hollow Racing caliper rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty is offered for dedicated track use. Pads come in three compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, covering everything from a daily-driven BG wagon to a stripped car used for occasional track days. The φ171 figure is the integral parking-brake drum diameter, retained in the disc hat so the original handbrake mechanism bolts straight back on.

Fitment for the Subaru Legacy (1994-1999)

This kit is sized for the rear axle of the 1994-1999 Subaru Legacy, covering the BD saloon and BG Touring Wagon model run. The φ265 disc diameter and φ171 parking-brake drum dimension match the factory rear hub, and the kit retains the OE handbrake mechanism. Confirm your exact model and year against the fitment selector 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.
