Brake Kit for Subaru Forester and Impreza

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4514-13006, is a front and rear disc brake kit built for select Subaru applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching hardware for a complete brake service on the 1998-2002 Subaru Forester and 1998-2001 Subaru Impreza.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction for OE-style durability and stability
• Non-directional rotor finish for faster 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 noise and vibration control
• Brake hardware with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Line Details

DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for balance on vented designs, and checked against OE specifications before release. The 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent pedal feel, while the hardware kit is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension during brake service.

Detailed Description

Part number 4514-13006 is a complete brake service kit for drivers searching for Subaru Forester front and rear brake kit coverage or Subaru Impreza front and rear brake replacement parts. The coated rotors help resist rust better than conventional painted or zinc-coated rotors, and the dry finish saves prep time during installation. The ceramic pads are built for controlled stopping performance, and the included hardware addresses wear-related noise and uneven pad movement that can develop over time.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by caliper movement
• Rotor rust and surface corrosion
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
• Brake pulsation related to rotor condition

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 1998-2002 Subaru Forester, front and rear.
• Fits 1999-2001 Subaru Impreza, front and rear.
• Fits 1998 Subaru Impreza, front and rear; vehicle production date from 7/98.
• Confirm axle position and production date before ordering.
