Product Details

PowerStop’s Z17 Evolution Plus line focuses on OE-style replacement braking with a ceramic compound tuned for everyday driving. For Saab 9-3 owners, this front brake pad set is a direct-fit option for the listed rotor sizes and is built to maintain stable performance during routine commuting and stop-and-go use.

What It Helps Address

• Brake dust buildup on wheels
• Squealing or noise from worn front pads
• Uneven pad wear from aging brake components
• Longer break-in time after brake service
• Reduced stopping consistency from depleted friction material

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rotor diameter before installation: 302mm rotors for 2006-2009 Saab 9-3 front applications, or 285mm rotors for 2006-2008 Saab 9-3 front applications. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and pad contact points before assembly, and follow the recommended bedding procedure after installation. Part number 17-1106 is intended for the front axle only.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop Z17 Evolution Plus pads use OE-style positive mold technology and a thermal scorched surface to support consistent wear and predictable performance. The ceramic formulation, shims, and included hardware are selected to support a clean, quiet brake service on the Saab 9-3 front brake system.
