Brake Kit for Subaru Forester and Impreza
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front and rear brake service solution for select Subaru and Saab applications. Part number 4514-13018 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware to support quieter stops, cleaner installation, and OE-style braking performance.
Key Features
- DFC GEOSPEC coated brake rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-spec durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time and improve first-stop response
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Line Details
DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are designed to resist rust better than conventional painted or zinc-coated rotors, while the 5000 Advanced pad line is formulated for stable friction across a wide range of passenger vehicles and light trucks. Together, they create a complete brake service package for drivers who want consistent pedal feel and OE-style fitment.
Detailed Description
Part number 4514-13018 is a complete disc brake kit for the front and rear axle positions on 2004-2008 Subaru Forester, 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X, 2004-2005 Subaru Impreza, and 2003 Subaru Impreza built from 9/02 production onward. This kit is built around coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching hardware to help restore braking performance while reducing common service issues tied to worn rotors, fatigued hardware, and uneven pad wear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- 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 friction material
- Brake pulsation related to rotor wear or finish issues
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2004-2008 Subaru Forester, front and rear. Fits 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X, front and rear. Fits 2004-2005 Subaru Impreza, front and rear. Fits 2003 Subaru Impreza, front and rear, for vehicles produced from 9/02. Before installation, confirm axle position and production date where noted. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. Follow proper bedding procedures after installation to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.
Quality Assurance
Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. Every rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
