MPA Electrical 1003-1257M Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Quality-Built Brake Pads for Front Disc Brakes

MPA Electrical Quality-Built Black Series Semi-Metallic Brake Pads w/ Hardware, part number 1003-1257M, are built for front disc brake applications that need consistent pedal feel and controlled stopping performance. This brake pad set uses a semi-metallic friction material with integrally molded construction, pad shims, adhesive-backed pad shims, and abutment clips to support quieter operation and even contact.

The Black Series product line focuses on application-specific friction formulas for predictable braking across a wide thermal range. For drivers servicing Saab 9-3, Saab 9-3X, or Cadillac BLS front brakes, 1003-1257M provides a direct-fit brake pad option matched to the listed rotor and wheel configurations.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for stable braking response
• Pad shims included for noise control
• Adhesive-backed pad shim included
• Abutment clips included
• Integrally molded friction material attachment
• Regular grade brake pad set for front disc brake service
• New condition

Detailed Product Overview

MPA Electrical 1003-1257M is a front disc brake pad set engineered for vehicles that require a specific rotor diameter or wheel package. The semi-metallic compound is formulated to deliver smooth, predictable pedal feel with low dust characteristics and consistent stopping performance under changing temperatures. This makes it a practical choice for routine brake service on Saab and Cadillac applications where OE-style fitment matters.

Compatible With 2011 Saab 9-3, front with 314mm rotor; 2010-2011 Saab 9-3X, front; 2006-2010 Saab 9-3, front with 314mm diameter disc; 2007-2008 Cadillac BLS, front with 16-inch wheels; and 2008 Saab 9-3, front with 285mm diameter disc. This part number, 1003-1257M, is also a useful reference when matching front brake pad specifications for these exact applications.

What This Brake Pad Set Helps Address

• Front brake noise from worn or uneven pad friction surfaces
• Brake dust buildup from aging semi-metallic or worn pads
• Uneven pedal feel caused by degraded pad material
• Reduced stopping consistency during heat cycling
• Brake service needs on Saab 9-3, Saab 9-3X, and Cadillac BLS front axles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, wheel size, and front axle application before installation. This brake pad set includes pad shims and abutment clips, but mounting hardware and brake lubricant are not included. Inspect rotors, calipers, and slide surfaces during service, and clean all contact points before installing 1003-1257M to support proper pad movement and even wear.

Quality Assurance

Quality-Built Black Series brake pads are developed around application-specific friction formulas to support consistent braking performance and predictable pedal response. The semi-metallic construction, molded friction attachment, and included shims and clips are selected to help maintain stable operation in the listed front brake applications.
