Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to OE-style tolerances from G3000/G11H18 cast iron and processed dry so they are ready to install without extra cleaning. The coated surface helps resist rust, while the non-directional finish supports consistent pad contact and quieter stops. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post cured for stable friction performance and assembled with rubber-steel-rubber shims to help reduce brake noise and harshness. Part number 4512-13046 is a rear brake solution for Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, and Saab 9-2X owners looking for a matched rotor-and-pad package.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven rear braking feel from worn rotor finish
• Reduced stopping performance from aged friction material
• Brake vibration caused by worn or out-of-spec rear components

Installation Notes

Verify rear axle fitment by year, model, and production date before ordering. This kit is listed for 2003 Subaru Impreza rear applications with production dates from 9/02 and from 1/03, so build date matters on those vehicles. Clean the hub mounting surface before installing the new rotors, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure for pad bedding and torque specifications.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, with vented rotors electronically mill-balanced when required. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post cured and scorched during production, and the hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction for OE-style form and function.
