Detailed Product Overview

The Bendix Friction SBM917 disc brake pad set is engineered for Porsche brake service where the original equipment pad material is semi-metallic. It is a practical replacement choice for Porsche Cayman, Porsche Boxster, and Porsche 911 brake jobs that require a front or rear pad set with OE-style dimensions and friction characteristics. The multi-layer shim construction supports stable pad operation, while burnishing strips, when supplied, help the pads seat properly during initial use. SBM917 is a fitment-specific part number for Porsche brake maintenance and should be matched to the exact axle position and brake configuration shown in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Installation Notes

Confirm the axle position before ordering, since SBM917 is listed for specific front and rear Porsche applications. Verify brake configuration details such as ceramic composite brakes and 4-piston calipers where noted, and compare the existing pad shape to the part listing before installation. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points, inspect rotors for wear or scoring, and follow the vehicle service procedure for pad bedding after installation.
