Subaru Impreza Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Subaru Impreza seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Impreza keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Subaru Impreza is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Subaru Impreza together.

What Is Included in the Subaru Impreza Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Subaru Impreza includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Impreza, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Subaru Impreza piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Impreza caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Subaru Impreza, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Impreza, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Subaru Impreza application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Subaru Impreza

A caliper kit is the right call for the Subaru Impreza in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Impreza are already compromised. During a high-mileage Impreza overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Subaru Impreza are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Impreza brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Subaru Impreza.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Subaru Impreza

New OEM-specification calipers for the Subaru Impreza are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Impreza vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Subaru Impreza housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Impreza replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Subaru Impreza Is Due

• Subaru Impreza pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Impreza worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Subaru Impreza with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Impreza brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Subaru Impreza caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Impreza corner not explained by worn pads

Why GeoBrakes for the Subaru Impreza Caliper Kit

Calipers for the Subaru Impreza are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Impreza are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Subaru Impreza exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions - Subaru Impreza Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Subaru Impreza at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Subaru Impreza has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Impreza. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Impreza caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Subaru Impreza after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Subaru Impreza to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Impreza must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Subaru Impreza.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Subaru Impreza kit?

A new caliper for the Subaru Impreza has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Impreza housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Subaru Impreza applications.
