Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900494 is a full cast iron disc brake rotor designed specifically for Subaru Forester, Legacy, and Outback models. Its vented construction allows for improved airflow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent stopping power. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.18 inches (30 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.1 inches (28 mm), ensuring it meets OEM specifications for safe operation. With a 12.42-inch (315.5 mm) outside diameter and five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 100 mm bolt circle, this rotor is engineered for precise fitment and secure installation. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible mounting without concern for rotor orientation. This conventional rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is designed for vehicles without that feature.
