Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (part number 301.09720) is engineered to meet the braking demands of Cadillac and Saab vehicles, specifically the 9-3, 9-3X, and BLS models.

The friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, enhancing pad durability and consistent performance over time.

The set includes four pads—two inner and two outer—with precise dimensions: outer pad height of 2.815 inches (71.5 mm), inner pad height of 2.709 inches (68.8 mm), and overall thickness of 0.768 inches (19.5 mm). Both inner and outer pads have widths around 6.1 inches (155-156.5 mm), ensuring a proper fit for the specified vehicles. Mounting hardware and pad shims are included to facilitate a secure and noise-reduced installation. While the pads are prepared for a pad wear sensor, the sensor itself is not included.
