Bendix Friction Stop Semi-Metallic Rear Brake Pads

Bendix Friction SBM738 is a rear disc brake pad set built for Porsche applications that call for semi-metallic original equipment-style friction. It is designed to OE standards for fit, form, and function, with a multi-layer shim to help support consistent braking performance and reduced noise.

Detailed Product Overview

Bendix Friction SBM738 is part of the Stop Semi-Metallic brake pad line, a range built to cover a broad share of North American vehicle applications while maintaining OE-style specifications. This rear disc brake pad set is listed for Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911 models with rear brake configurations that do not use ceramic composite brakes. The semi-metallic friction material aligns with the original equipment pad material noted for these applications, making it a direct replacement choice for service work on select Porsche braking systems.

For shoppers comparing Porsche Boxster rear brake pads, Porsche Cayman rear brake pads, or Porsche 911 rear brake pads, SBM738 provides a fitment-focused option under the Bendix Friction brand line. The part number SBM738 is also useful when cross-checking catalog listings for rear brake service on 1997-2004 Porsche Boxster, 1999-2004 Porsche 911, and 2006-2012 Porsche Cayman and Boxster applications.

What This Part Helps Address

• Worn rear brake pads that reduce stopping performance
• Brake noise caused by aged or uneven pad friction material
• Brake pedal feel changes from pad wear
• Service needs on Porsche rear brake systems with semi-metallic OE pad material
• Replacement requirements for vehicles not equipped with ceramic composite brakes

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear axle fitment before ordering, since SBM738 is listed only for rear positions. Review the vehicle notes carefully: several applications specify no ceramic composite brakes, and hardware is not included on the listed Porsche fitments. Inspect rotors, calipers, and pad contact surfaces during brake service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure for bedding-in new pads.
