The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Subaru Crosstrek and Impreza
The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit built for Subaru applications that need rotor, pad, and hardware replacement in one package. Part number 4512-13068 is engineered for rear brake service on select Subaru Crosstrek, Impreza, Forester, and XV Crosstrek models.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit with coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and hardware
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-to-install rotor design with no oil-cleaning prep required
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- DFC 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
DFC Complete Brake Kits combine the major wear components needed for a rear brake job. The GEOSPEC rotors are cast to OEM-style G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coated surface helps resist rust, while the non-directional finish supports quicker pad bedding and consistent pedal feel. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction and quieter operation, making this kit a practical choice for daily-driven Subaru vehicles.
Part number 4512-13068 is a fitment-based rear brake solution for 2012-2016 Subaru Impreza, 2014-2018 Subaru Forester, 2016-2018 Subaru Crosstrek, 2017-2021 Subaru Impreza, 2019-2023 Subaru Crosstrek, 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, and 2022-2023 Subaru Impreza. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address
- Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven braking feel from worn or out-of-spec rotors
- Vibration or harshness during light to moderate braking
- Reduced stopping consistency from aged brake components
Installation Notes
Before ordering, confirm rear fitment by year, model, and brake configuration. This kit is listed for rear applications only. Inspect calipers, slides, and brake hoses during service, and replace any worn components as needed. Proper rotor and pad bedding after installation helps establish consistent braking performance.
Quality Assurance
Each rotor is manufactured to OE-style specifications and undergoes machining and inspection checks for balance and critical attributes. DFC rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
