The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS
The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is a rear disc brake service kit built for specific Saab and Cadillac applications. Part number 4502-65037 combines coated rotors and advanced friction pads in one package for a direct brake service on the rear axle.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit with rotors and pads
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-to-install rotor coating reduces prep time during brake service
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- OE-style rotor casting and machining for durability and stability
- Part number 4502-65037
Product Details
DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is built around coated replacement rotors that resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes. Each rotor is processed dry and ready to install, which helps streamline rear brake service on the Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS. The 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for consistent friction, with post-curing and scorching steps used to reduce initial break-in and support stopping performance from the first stop. This kit is a practical choice for rear brake maintenance on 2004-2011 Saab 9-3 and 2007-2008 Cadillac BLS applications listed below. Part number 4502-65037 is also referenced as a rear brake kit for these vehicles.
What This Kit Helps Address
- Rear brake pulsation from worn rotors
- Brake noise caused by aged pads or uneven rotor surfaces
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Reduced braking consistency from worn friction material
- Longer service time caused by rotors that require cleaning before installation
Installation Notes
Compatible With rear axle service only. Verify rotor size and vehicle configuration before ordering, especially on Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS models with notes for 285mm front rotors, solid rear rotors, or Mexico-market applications. Follow standard brake service procedures, clean all mating surfaces, and bed in the pads according to the vehicle and pad manufacturer recommendations. Part number 4502-65037 should be matched to the exact rear fitment listed below.
Quality Assurance
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required. The rotors are engineered to OE specifications and include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
