Key Features

• Rear disc brake kit with rotors and pads
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor specification for OE-style durability and stability
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking

• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
• Rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control

Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished for balanced operation, and inspected to confirm critical dimensions meet OE specifications. The coating is applied to help resist rust on non-friction surfaces, while the braking surface is prepared for consistent pad contact. The 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with premium shims to support quieter operation. This part number, 4502-65042, is a practical choice for rear brake service on Saab models that require a matched rotor-and-pad kit.

Installation Notes

Before installation, confirm rear axle fitment against the vehicle notes for your Saab 9-3 or Saab 9-3X. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during service. Follow standard brake service procedures, inspect related wear items, and bed in the pads according to the friction material manufacturer’s recommendations.
