Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Featured
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit for keeping your Subaru pulling up safely. Over time, they can wear down, warp from the heat, or get a bit rusty, especially if your Impreza or Legacy does a mix of city and open road driving. Time for a cafe lunch and get your brakes sorted.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brake pedal's got a pulse or a bit of a shake about it
• Brakes are squealing like a stuck pig or grinding away
• Taking longer to pull up than you're happy with
• Can see scoring or damage on the rotor itself
• Brake pads wearing unevenly
WOF Worries?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They've gotta be within the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 1-2 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack, jack stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (if you've got one)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, mate, safety first! Never get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper jack stands – your life's worth more than saving a few bucks. Grab some safety glasses to keep the rust and brake dust out of your eyes, and a pair of nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean. Give those new rotors a good spray with Brake Cleaner to get rid of any factory grease. And when you're putting things back together, a little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the threads will make life easier next time around.
Bob's Two Cents
Worn rotors are a safety risk, plain and simple. Getting them replaced means your Subaru will stop like it should, giving you peace of mind. The DBA rotor is a top choice for your Impreza or Legacy, but we've got options to suit every wallet. Pop into Bob's Shop – I'm always happy to help you find exactly what you need for your Subaru. Let's get you sorted!
Fitment Notes
• Make sure the new rotor is the same size and shape as the old one (diameter, thickness, bolt pattern).
• Always do both rotors on an axle (both fronts or both rears) to keep your braking even.
• Some Subarus have different rotor sizes depending on the model and year. Double-check before you start.

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
