This product line is suitable for drivers seeking a balance between durability and reliable stopping power, especially in vehicles like the Subaru Impreza and Legacy.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is vented to improve heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. The drum-in-hat design integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor, making it compatible with vehicles that use this combined braking system. The rotor measures 11.410 inches in outside diameter and has a nominal thickness of 0.710 inches, with a discard thickness of 0.630 inches, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Subaru Impreza and Legacy models
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps restore proper braking performance and pedal feel
• Prevents rust-related rotor degradation with its protective coating
• Compatible with vehicles requiring a 5-bolt mounting pattern and drum-in-hat rotor design

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.630 inches) before installation
• Verify mounting bolt hole pattern matches vehicle specifications (5 holes, 100 mm bolt circle)
• Clean rotor surface and hub mounting area to prevent uneven wear
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement for optimal performance
