Fitment Notes

• Rear axle brake kit consisting of Brembo 08.C661.11 rear rotors and P78020N Prime Ceramic rear brake pads.
• Requires the compatible Akebono rear brake system and 274 mm x 10 mm solid rear rotor configuration.
• 2012-2014 Impreza WRX, WRX Limited, and WRX Premium applications are included only where the factory rear brake configuration matches.
• 2015 Subaru WRX is not included because the verified kit/component combination requires separate confirmation for that model year.
• Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 are not included in the verified kit fitment despite some individual P78020N pad applications overlapping those platforms.
• Not for vehicles equipped with a different rear rotor diameter, thickness, or braking system.
• 2023-2026 applications are not included because complete part-specific fitment could not be sufficiently verified.

Features

• Brembo OE Ceramic rear brake pad and rotor kit.
• Combines Brembo 08.C661.11 UV-coated rear rotors with P78020N Prime Ceramic pads.
• 274 mm rotor diameter provides the specified rear braking surface.
• 10 mm nominal rotor thickness matches the compatible factory configuration.
• Solid rotor construction provides OE-equivalent road-use performance.
• UV coating protects the rotor hub and outer edges against corrosion.
• Prime Ceramic friction material is engineered for quiet and comfortable braking.
• Low-dust friction formulation helps keep wheels cleaner.
• Anti-squeal shim helps reduce brake noise and vibration.
• Acoustic wear indicator provides audible notification of pad wear.
• OE-equivalent design requires no modifications for compatible applications.
• ECE-R90 type-approved Brembo components are designed for road use.

Product Description

The Brembo KT00233 OE Ceramic Rear Brake Kit combines Brembo 08.C661.11 UV-coated rear brake rotors with P78020N Prime Ceramic brake pads for compatible Subaru applications. The 274 mm solid rotors are engineered around the factory rear brake configuration, while the ceramic/NAO pads emphasize quiet operation, smooth braking, and reduced brake dust.

The included 08.C661.11 rotors feature a 10 mm nominal thickness, 58 mm center bore, five mounting holes, and UV protective coating on the hub and outer edges. The P78020N pads measure 110 mm wide, 38 mm high, and 14 mm thick and use an Akebono braking system with an acoustic wear indicator and anti-squeal shim. Brembo identifies both components as OE-equivalent products designed for road use.

KT00233 is verified for selected 2012-2022 Subaru Impreza, 2014-2018 Forester, 2016-2022 Crosstrek, 2013-2015 XV Crosstrek, and 2012-2014 Impreza WRX applications. The exact rear brake configuration must match the 274 mm x 10 mm rotor and Akebono pad specifications. Verify the original rear rotor dimensions and brake system before installation, particularly on WRX, Hybrid, and performance-oriented configurations.
