Detailed Product Description

The 830-13016R rotor from Dynamite Friction is part of the DFC Geoperformance Rotor - Drilled and Slotted line, designed specifically for performance-oriented Subaru vehicles such as the Impreza, WRX, and WRX STI. This rotor features a vented design that helps maintain optimal operating temperatures by allowing air to flow through the rotor, reducing the risk of brake fade during aggressive driving or heavy braking conditions.

The rotor surface is both drilled and slotted in a directional pattern, which aids in removing brake dust, gases, and water from the contact surface. This design improves braking consistency and pad bite, especially in wet or demanding environments. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 30 mm, with a discard thickness of 28 mm, ensuring a durable lifespan while maintaining safety standards.

The hat section of the rotor is finished in Geospec silver grey, providing corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Additionally, the entire rotor is coated with a rust-resistant layer to protect against environmental elements, extending the rotor’s service life. The rotor’s bolt hole diameter is 12.9 mm with a 5-lug pattern and a bolt circle diameter of 114.3 mm, matching the factory specifications for the compatible Subaru models.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Improves braking performance for Subaru Impreza, WRX, and WRX STI vehicles
• Reduces brake fade during high-performance or spirited driving
• Helps prevent rotor warping caused by excessive heat buildup
• Minimizes brake dust accumulation on rotor surface
• Protects against rust and corrosion for longer rotor life

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation; replace if below the discard thickness of 28 mm. The directional drilled and slotted surface requires correct orientation during installation to maintain optimal performance. Verify the 5-lug bolt pattern and 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter match your vehicle’s hub. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement to ensure compatibility and safety.

Quality Assurance

Dynamite Friction manufactures the 830-13016R rotor to meet or exceed OEM specifications for Subaru Impreza, WRX, and WRX STI models. The rust-resistant coating and Geospec silver grey hat finish contribute to durability and corrosion resistance. Warranty information is available through Dynamite Friction and should be confirmed at the point of purchase.
