Front Performance Brake & Caliper Overhaul Kit

G-Coated Slotted & Drilled Upgrade for 1997–2002 Subaru

Take your Subaru's braking performance to the next level with this comprehensive front-end brake overhaul kit. This package is designed for owners seeking superior heat management and increased stopping power. Featuring Slotted and Drilled rotors with a Premium G-Coating, this kit resists rust while actively cooling the braking surface. The inclusion of remanufactured dual-piston calipers ensures that your entire hydraulic and friction system is refreshed simultaneously, eliminating the common "soft pedal" feel associated with aging Subaru components.

Fitment Verification and Vehicle Applications

This kit is specifically engineered for models equipped with 277mm diameter front rotors and Dual Piston Calipers. Verify your production date and rotor size, as Subaru utilized multiple brake configurations during these years.

• Subaru Forester: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002.

• Subaru Impreza RS: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001.

• Subaru Legacy (GT, LSi, L): 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 (Models with 277mm rotors).

• Subaru Outback: 1997, 1998, 1999; 2000 (To 6/30/00 production date).

Critical Installation and Performance Notes

• Zinc/G-Coating: The protective coating on the rotor face will be safely removed by the brake pads during the initial "bedding-in" process. Do not attempt to sand or scrape the coating off manually.

• Bleeding Requirement: Because this kit includes new calipers, a complete system bleed is mandatory. Start at the passenger rear wheel and work your way toward the driver front to ensure all air is purged from the lines.

• Semi-Metallic Bite: These pads are chosen for their high-friction coefficient. While they provide better stopping power than ceramic in extreme conditions, they may produce slightly more brake dust.

• Dual Piston Identification: Verify your current calipers have two pistons on one side. If your Subaru uses single-piston calipers, this kit will require a different bracket configuration.
