XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Subaru XV (GP) (2012-2017)

The GP-generation XV was built around Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD architecture on a raised crossover platform, a combination that generates genuine grip but places a sustained demand on the front brake axle. The factory front setup was sized for the car’s commuter-and-light-trail brief; on a loaded A-road run or a long descent under power, that conservative spec becomes the limiting factor.

The XYZ Racing Front Big Brake Kit fits the XV GP with larger two-piece floating front discs and uprated calipers, supplied as a left-and-right front pair. Three pad compounds span quiet daily use through to harder track work, a setup that matches how the car is actually driven.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2017 Subaru XV (GP)

Under hard braking the XV GP’s mass and raised ride height concentrate load at the front axle regardless of how the AWD system distributes drive. Larger-diameter front discs increase swept area and accelerate heat dissipation at the front corner, directly addressing the fade risk when the stock setup is pushed beyond its intended range. The hollow-vane casting drives air through the disc face to manage heat, and the two-piece construction reduces rotating and unsprung mass at the front wheel, improving the axle’s ability to track uneven surfaces mid-braking on the GP’s natural habitat of mixed-condition roads.

Three pad compounds let you set pedal feel and bite to suit use. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for urban and commuting miles; Sport adds bite and heat range for sustained spirited road work; Racing is the track compound. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, and braided lines tighten the pedal. The calipers are painted before dispatch in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black at no extra cost, or in any Pantone as a Custom Color for an added charge, so the finished install can match the car’s existing spec or stand apart from it.

About the Front Big Brake Kit

The caliper is a hollow-body forged unit as standard, stiff for its weight, with a Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that removes the dust cover and adds a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. The two-piece floating disc raises heat-rejection capacity beyond a standard ventilated unit, delivering more consistent pedal feel across a long or repeated braking run.

All three compounds share the same caliper geometry, so the same kit serves a broad range of driving styles without a separate SKU. Beyond the included paints, finish choices extend to premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and a candy range of Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be specified two-tone in five anodized colours or in titanium, all chosen when you order.

Fitment for the Subaru XV (GP) (2012-2017)

This front brake kit is developed for the GP-chassis Subaru XV produced between 2012 and 2017, fitting the front axle as a left-and-right pair. The GP XV shared its platform architecture with the GJ Impreza of the same era, and fitment is confirmed at the front axle for this generation. If the car has had previous aftermarket brake work, verify the existing front disc diameter and carrier dimensions before ordering.
