Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are engineered for vehicles that need precise friction matching and stable braking performance. The rotor coating helps resist corrosion while the machined surface and balance inspection support smooth operation. The pad formulation is designed for consistent friction from the first stop, and the shim construction helps reduce brake noise during everyday driving. This part number 4504-13018 is a practical choice for Subaru Forester brake replacement, Subaru Impreza brake service, and Saab 9-2X front and rear brake maintenance.

Common Problems This Kit Can Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Squealing or harsh brake noise
• Extended stopping distance from worn pads
• Uneven pad transfer after brake service

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2004-2008 Subaru Forester, front and rear; 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X, front and rear; 2004-2005 Subaru Impreza, front and rear; and 2003 Subaru Impreza, front and rear, with vehicle production date from 9/02. Verify axle position and production date before ordering. The rotors are dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. Follow proper brake cleaning, torque, and bedding procedures after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor is machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and checked for balance on vented applications. DFC states that every rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance and assembled with premium shims for improved NVH control.
