Fitment Information

These rotors are specifically designed for the front of the Subaru STI models from 2005 to 2014. It's important to note that if you upgrade the front pads, you should also consider upgrading the rear pads to maintain balanced braking performance.

2. Can I mix these rotors with different brake pads?

It's recommended to use upgraded pads on the rear only if you've upgraded the front pads to ensure consistent braking performance.

The coating will wear off in the pad swept area during the first 10 to 20 stops after installation, providing effective protection against rust.
