Dynamite Friction 4514-65011 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Brake Kit for Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Low Metallic and Hardware Kit, part number 4514-65011, is a front and rear disc brake kit built for specific Saab and Cadillac applications. It combines coated rotors, low metallic pads, and brake hardware for a complete service-style brake replacement.

Compatible With 2006-2011 Saab 9-3 and 2007-2008 Cadillac BLS applications, this kit is designed for vehicles using 302mm front rotors, with rear rotor sizing noted by fitment. The part number 4514-65011 is also a useful reference when ordering the correct brake service kit for these platforms.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced low metallic brake pads for stable friction performance
• Post-cured pads and scorched friction surfaces for reduced initial break-in
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in and quieter stops
• Hardware kit included for a complete brake service package
• OE-style rotor machining and balance inspection for consistent fit and operation

Product Details

DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is built around dry, ready-to-install coated rotors that help resist rust and eliminate the need to clean oil from the braking surface before installation. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The 5000 Advanced pad formulation is developed for modern vehicle braking demands and uses low metallic friction material for dependable stopping performance. For Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS owners, this kit provides a direct brake service solution for front and rear maintenance.

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

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven braking caused by rotor wear or corrosion
• Longer stopping distances from reduced pad friction
• Vibration or pulsation during braking
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor size and vehicle configuration before ordering, especially on 2006-2011 Saab 9-3 and 2007-2008 Cadillac BLS models. Clean installation surfaces, inspect calipers and slides, and follow proper brake bedding procedures after installation. The coated rotor surface is ready to install and does not require additional preparation.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is manufactured to OE specifications, with 100% inspection of critical attributes and balance checks on vented rotors. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
