DuraGo BR900828 Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Durable Cast Iron Disc Brake Rotor for Subaru Impreza and WRX STI

The DuraGo BR900828 disc brake rotor is engineered to provide reliable braking performance for Subaru Impreza and WRX STI models. Constructed from full cast iron, this vented rotor offers consistent heat dissipation and durability under demanding driving conditions.

• Material: Full cast iron construction for strength and heat resistance
• Vented design to improve cooling and reduce brake fade
• Outside diameter of 12.44 inches (316 mm) for precise fitment
• Drum-in-hat type rotor with 5 mounting bolt holes
• Nominal thickness of 0.79 inches (20 mm) with discard thickness at 0.71 inches (18 mm)
• Center hole diameter of 2.28 inches (58 mm) for accurate hub alignment
• Non-directional brake surface suitable for standard braking applications

Technical Details and Construction

The DuraGo BR900828 rotor features a full cast iron build, which is standard for many OEM and aftermarket brake rotors due to its excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance. The vented rotor design enhances airflow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat more effectively during braking. This reduces the risk of brake fade and extends rotor life. The drum-in-hat construction integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor, making it compatible with Subaru Impreza and WRX STI models equipped with this braking system. The rotor's 5-bolt mounting pattern and 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter ensure proper fitment and secure installation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is specifically compatible with Subaru Impreza and WRX STI vehicles. It is designed to replace factory rotors on models requiring a 12.44-inch diameter vented rotor with drum-in-hat construction. The DuraGo BR900828 is suitable for drivers seeking a direct replacement rotor that meets OEM specifications without additional modifications.

• Eliminates rotor warping and vibration issues
• Addresses reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotors
• Resolves noise and squealing caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Prevents overheating and brake fade during extended use
• Restores proper parking brake function with drum-in-hat design

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR900828 rotor, ensure the mounting surface and hub are clean and free of rust or debris to promote proper seating. Verify the rotor thickness before installation; replace if below the discard thickness of 0.71 inches (18 mm). Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle's ABS system. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR900828 rotor to meet or exceed industry standards for material quality and dimensional accuracy. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, its cast iron construction provides reliable durability. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed through the product documentation or manufacturer, as coverage may vary by region and application.
