The Story
Front Brake Kit for Subaru WRX and More
The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is a front disc brake service kit built for Subaru applications that need rotor and pad replacement in one package. Part number 4502-13080 combines coated rotors with advanced friction material for a clean, OE-style brake service on the Subaru WRX, Legacy, Outback, Tribeca, and B9 Tribeca.
Key Features
- Front disc brake kit with rotors and pads in one package
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor specification for OE-style durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 100% inspected rotors, including balance checks on vented rotors
- DFC 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
Product Line Details
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances and finished to support quieter stops and consistent pad contact. The coating is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while still being swept away naturally by the brake pads during use. The 5000 Advanced brake pad line is formulated for controlled friction, with post-curing and scorching steps that reduce initial break-in time and support predictable stopping performance.
Compatible With
- Fits 2021 Subaru WRX, front, without EyeSight Technology (Manual Parking Brake)
- Fits 2015-2020 Subaru WRX, front
- Fits 2018-2020 Subaru WRX, front, Standard Calipers - no Performance Package
- Fits 2016-2020 Subaru WRX, front, without EyeSight Technology (Manual Parking Brake)
- Fits 2016-2020 Subaru WRX, front, with EyeSight Technology (Electric Parking Brake)
- Fits 2015-2019 Subaru Legacy, front
- Fits 2015-2019 Subaru Outback, front
- Fits 2008-2014 Subaru Tribeca, front
- Fits 2006-2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca, front
Common Reasons to Replace
- Brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
- Reduced stopping performance from worn pad friction material
- Brake noise caused by pad wear or rotor surface condition
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Extended stopping distance during normal driving
Installation Notes and Tips
Front axle service is straightforward when replacing rotors and pads together, and the dry rotor finish helps reduce prep time during installation. Verify caliper type and parking brake configuration before ordering, especially on 2016-2021 Subaru WRX models with EyeSight Technology or manual parking brake notes. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Quality Assurance
Each rotor is machined, balanced where required, and inspected against OE specifications for critical dimensions and finish. DFC states that the rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4502-13080 is built for front brake service on Subaru WRX, Legacy, Outback, Tribeca, and B9 Tribeca applications.
