• Vented rotor design to improve heat dissipation
• Nominal thickness: 0.67 inches (17 mm)
• Discard thickness: 0.59 inches (15 mm)
• Outside diameter: 11.22 inches (285 mm)
• Mounting bolt hole quantity: 5 with 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without ABS tone ring

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901778 is a full cast disc brake rotor constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and heat resistance. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 0.67 inches and a discard thickness of 0.59 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective braking. The rotor measures 11.22 inches in outside diameter and features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment on compatible Subaru models.

This rotor is designed as a conventional, non-directional brake surface type, which simplifies installation and maintenance. It does not include an ABS tone ring, so it is intended for vehicles without ABS sensor integration on the rotor itself. The overall height of 1.82 inches supports proper alignment with the brake caliper assembly.

Compatible Subaru Models and Applications

• Subaru Crosstrek
• Subaru Forester
• Subaru Impreza

This rotor is specifically compatible with these Subaru models, making it a suitable replacement part for maintaining factory braking performance.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced braking efficiency
• Overheating and brake fade during prolonged braking
• Corrosion and surface damage affecting rotor lifespan
• Uneven rotor thickness causing brake noise or pulsation

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness before installation
• Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coating or debris
• Check compatibility with your vehicle’s brake caliper and mounting hardware
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor distortion
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
