XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Subaru XV (GT) (2017-2026)

The Subaru XV (GT) carries its weight high. Built on the Subaru Global Platform with raised ride height and full-time symmetrical all-wheel drive, it loads the rear axle harder than the Impreza it shares its bones with, and that mass has to be hauled down every time the road drops away or the car is run fully laden. The XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit replaces the standard rear setup with a larger, better-cooled disc package built to cope with repeated heavy stops.

This is rear-axle braking for owners who use the XV the way Subaru intended: loaded with people and kit, towing a light trailer, descending long passes in the wet. Supplied as a matched pair of left and right corners, the two-piece floating disc sheds heat and weight, and three pad compounds let you match bite to how hard you lean on the car.

What this brake kit does for your 2017-2026 Subaru XV (GT)

A bigger rear disc gives you more thermal headroom, which is exactly what the XV needs given its height and the extra rotating mass of the AWD driveline. You feel it as a firmer, more consistent pedal on the third and fourth hard stop, rather than the long fading travel a tall crossover develops once the standard rears get hot. Stronger rear braking also settles the car’s attitude under heavy deceleration, keeping the nose from diving as sharply and leaving the stability systems less to correct. With the Street pad compound the kit stays quiet and clean for daily and winter use; move up to the Sport or Racing compound and you trade a little noise and dust for sharper bite and higher fade resistance when the XV is worked hard or run loaded.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The kit centres on a two-piece floating rear disc, where the friction ring expands against an alloy bell to drop rotating mass and open up cooling paths, paired with an uprated caliper and pad. Less rotating mass at the rear axle means the brakes come up to temperature predictably and shed it faster, which is the single biggest factor in resisting fade on a heavy all-wheel-drive crossover. The caliper body is a hollow-cast forging as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade rated to 1000C and a two-year warranty for the hardest use. Three pad compounds are offered: a Street compound for quiet, all-weather running, a Sport compound for owners who want more initial bite without track-pad noise, and a Racing compound for circuit work. Caliper finish is your call at no extra cost, with Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black on the menu plus a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150 and premium polished-forged and candy options if you want to match or contrast the bodywork; disc faces are drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell upgrades to a five-colour anodized two-tone or titanium at checkout. Everything is sized for the rear of the XV rather than adapted from another model, so the clamping load and geometry suit the chassis it is going on.

Fitment for the Subaru XV (GT) (2017-2026)

This kit is built for the GT-generation Subaru XV across the full 2017 to 2026 production run and fits the rear axle only. Confirm your exact build year against the selector before ordering, and pair it with a matching front kit if you want balanced braking front to rear.
