The Story
Front Brake Kit for Subaru Impreza and Legacy
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front disc brake service kit built for select Subaru applications. Part number 4512-13042 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware components in one package for a complete front brake refresh.
Key Features
- Fits 1990-1996 Subaru Legacy, front
- Fits 1993-1996 Subaru Impreza, front
- Fits 1993 Subaru Impreza, front, 260mm front rotors
- Fits 1994 Subaru Impreza, front, 14" wheels
- Fits 1994-1995 Subaru Impreza, front, 14" wheels; 260mm front rotors
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for reduced noise and vibration
- OE-style hardware kit with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- Part number 4512-13042 for front axle brake service
Product Details
DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor finish is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, and the rotors are shipped dry and ready for installation. The rotor castings are machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface for more even pad bed-in, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time, while the shim design helps control brake noise and vibration. The included hardware kit is engineered to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension on the front brakes.
Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address
- Front brake noise from worn or corroded hardware
- Uneven pad wear caused by fatigued caliper hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Longer stopping distances from worn front brake components
- Brake vibration or harshness during everyday driving
Installation Notes
Compatible with front brake service on select Subaru Impreza and Subaru Legacy models listed above. Verify rotor size and wheel configuration before ordering, especially for 1993-1995 Subaru Impreza applications with 14" wheels or 260mm front rotors. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly during installation and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure for pad bedding and torque specifications. Part number 4512-13042 is intended for front axle use only.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that each rotor is manufactured to OE specifications, processed through machining and inspection steps, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are formulated with DFC’s OE-focused friction development process for consistent performance across a range of vehicle applications.
