Subaru Forester Disc Brake Kit in US

A complete disc brake kit for the Subaru Forester is the most efficient way to perform a full axle disc brake service on your Forester. The friction components, rotor surface finish, pad compound, and caliper hardware on the Subaru Forester all function as an integrated system. Sourcing each element separately for the Forester introduces compatibility variables that manifest as brake noise, vibration, or inconsistent pedal feel in the first months of service on your Subaru Forester.

What Is Included in the Subaru Forester Disc Brake Kit

The kit for your Subaru Forester includes front or rear disc brake rotors at OEM or performance specification for the Forester, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation compound-matched to the Subaru Forester rotor specification, a caliper hardware kit with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Forester, brake lubricant for correct caliper pin and shim installation on your Subaru Forester, and rotor mounting hardware where required by the Subaru Forester application.

Three Kit Levels for the Subaru Forester

OEM Replacement Disc Brake Kit for the Subaru Forester

Restores factory braking performance exactly on your Subaru Forester, the correct specification for everyday commuting and family use of the Forester in American conditions.

Antirust Coated Disc Brake Kit for the Subaru Forester

The most practical choice for American Subaru Forester drivers. Zinc-coated or e-coated rotor surfaces on the Forester resist the rust that plain rotors develop within days of road salt exposure on your Subaru Forester, maintaining consistent friction performance through multiple winter seasons.

Performance Disc Brake Kit for the Subaru Forester

Uses cross-drilled and slotted rotors with high-performance pads for Subaru Forester drivers who tow, drive mountain roads, or generate sustained braking temperatures beyond what factory-spec rotors manage effectively on the Forester.

Why Correct Hardware Is as Important as the Friction Components on the Subaru Forester

Caliper slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips on the Subaru Forester are the most commonly overlooked components in a brake service and the most common cause of brake noise complaints after a pad change on the Forester. Sticking slide pins on your Subaru Forester prevent the caliper from floating freely, causing the outer pad to wear faster than the inner. Every GeoBrakes disc brake kit for the Forester includes fresh hardware as a standard component.

Signs the Disc Brake Kit on Your Subaru Forester Is Due

• Vibration or pulsation through the Forester brake pedal during stops
• Squealing or grinding from the Subaru Forester brake corners indicating worn pads and damaged rotors
• Forester rotor surfaces scored, grooved, or below minimum thickness specification
• Subaru Forester pulling to one side under braking
• Brake warning light illuminated on your Forester dashboard

Why GeoBrakes for the Subaru Forester Disc Brake Kit

Our disc brake kit range for the Subaru Forester is built with coated rotor options at every kit level to address road salt corrosion that shortens rotor life on most American Forester applications. As an authorized retailer of Cardone, EBC, Brembo, Raybestos, and Akebono, every kit for the Subaru Forester ships with full manufacturer warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions - Subaru Forester Disc Brake Kits

Should I buy a front kit, rear kit, or both for my Subaru Forester?

Front brakes on the Subaru Forester handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and wear faster than the rear. If only one axle on your Forester is due for service, buy that kit. If both axles on the Subaru Forester need service simultaneously, combining them in one order above $99 qualifies for free US-wide delivery.

What rotor type should I choose for my Subaru Forester in American conditions?

For everyday commuting on your Subaru Forester, an antirust coated OEM kit is the most practical choice, delivering factory-level performance while resisting the corrosion plain rotors develop rapidly on the Forester in road salt conditions. For towing or performance driving with your Subaru Forester, a drilled-and-slotted performance kit provides improved heat management.

How long do disc brake kits last on a Subaru Forester?

Under normal American driving, a quality disc brake kit on the Subaru Forester typically lasts 50,000 to 70,000 kilometres. Antirust coated kits tend to last longer on the Forester because corrosion is a major cause of early rotor replacement on American Subaru Forester vehicles.
