What It Helps Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before ordering, since SBM916 is listed for specific Porsche 911 model years and excludes vehicles with ceramic composite brakes in the noted applications. Inspect rotors, caliper condition, and pad hardware during service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation. Burnishing strips are included where available to help with initial pad conditioning.
