A.B.S 18462 Brake DISCS

A.B.S 18462 Brake DISCS

The A.B.S 18462 Brake DISCS are a premium component designed to deliver reliable stopping power and durability for a wide range of vehicles, particularly those in the Subaru Forester family. These discs combine advanced engineering with high‑grade materials to meet demanding performance standards while maintaining ease of installation.

Key Features

• High‑Performance Material: Constructed from a high‑strength steel alloy, the discs provide excellent heat dissipation and resistance to wear, ensuring consistent braking performance even under heavy use.
• Ventilated Design: Each disc features a ventilation system with multiple channels that allow air to flow through the plate. This reduces heat buildup during hard braking, preventing brake fade and extending component life.
• Coated Finish: The discs are finished with a protective coating that resists corrosion and oxidation. This layer also helps maintain a clean surface for optimal pad contact.
• Standard Fitment: Designed to fit the 278 mm diameter, 18 mm thickness specification required by many Subaru models (including Forester SJ, SJD, and other variants). The discs feature a 5‑hole mounting pattern that aligns with standard wheel hubs.
• Compatibility: These discs are suitable for both front and rear applications in vehicles equipped with the ABS system. They are specifically engineered to work seamlessly with Subaru’s braking architecture, providing balanced stopping power across all four wheels.
• Easy Installation: The discs come pre‑assembled with a standard mounting flange, allowing for quick swap‑outs during maintenance or upgrades without the need for additional hardware.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Remove the wheel and brake caliper assembly.
2. Remove Old Disc: Detach the caliper bracket, then unscrew the disc from the hub using a suitable socket set.
3. Install New Disc: Place the new A.B.S 18462 Brake DISCS onto the hub, aligning the mounting holes. Tighten the bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
4. Reattach Caliper: Reinstall the caliper bracket and secure it with the appropriate fasteners.
5. Check Alignment: Verify that the disc is flush against the brake pad and that there are no gaps or misalignments.
6. Test Drive: After installation, perform a short test drive to confirm proper braking performance and listen for any unusual noises.

Performance Benefits

• Consistent Stopping Power: The combination of high‑strength material and ventilated design ensures that the discs maintain optimal temperature during repeated braking, preventing fade.
• Longevity: The protective coating resists rust and wear, extending the life of both the disc and the brake pads.
• Reduced Maintenance: With a robust construction, these discs require fewer replacements over time compared to standard aftermarket options.
• Safety Assurance: Designed to meet ABS requirements, they provide reliable performance in emergency braking situations.
