Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2013 Subaru Forester’s braking system uses front and rear rotors that perform distinct roles: the front rotors typically handle the majority of braking force and heat, so they often show wear sooner than rear rotors. Front rotors experience higher loads during most stops, while rear rotors help stabilize and balance braking. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley in Greeley, CO, our certified technicians assess both axles and will explain whether front or rear work—or both—are needed to restore safe, smooth braking. We emphasize OEM parts and correct installation to maximize rotor life and maintain factory-calibrated ABS and traction controls. If resurfacing is an option, we’ll explain immediate savings versus replacement and the long-term value of new OEM rotors. Take advantage of our clear estimates, warranty coverage, and flexible payment options including service financing. To protect your Forester and passengers, schedule service online or call for a quick consultation.
