Durable Ceramic Disc Brake Pads for Cadillac and Saab Vehicles

The DuraGo BP972C disc brake pad set offers reliable braking performance designed specifically for Cadillac and Saab models including the 9-3, 9-3X, and BLS. Engineered with ceramic friction material and slotted design, these pads provide consistent stopping power and reduced noise.

  • Ceramic friction material for smooth braking and low dust
  • Slotted pads to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade
  • Chamfered edges to minimize noise and vibration
  • Includes pad shims for proper fit and noise reduction
  • Iron backing plates bonded securely to friction material
  • Compatible with Cadillac and Saab 9-3, 9-3X, and BLS models

Technical Specifications and Features

The DuraGo BP972C disc brake pad set features a friction material thickness of 13.7 mm (0.54 inches) on both inner and outer pads, ensuring long-lasting wear. The pads are slotted to enhance heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions. Chamfered edges reduce the likelihood of noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter ride. The friction material is ceramic-based, known for producing less brake dust and providing smooth braking feel. The iron backing plates are bonded to the friction material for durability and structural integrity. Pad shims are included to help reduce noise and ensure proper installation, although mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included.
