The Story
Front Brake Kit for Saab 9-3
Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads, part number 4502-65044, is a front disc brake kit built for select Saab 9-3 applications. It combines coated rotors and matched friction material for a complete front brake service on 2008-2011 Saab 9-3 models listed below.
Key Features
- Front disc brake kit with rotors and pads in one package
- GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors ship ready to install without oil removal
- OE-spec G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction
- Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 100% inspected rotors with balance correction on vented units
- 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise and vibration
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads line is built for drivers who want a matched brake service kit with OE-style fit and finish. For Saab 9-3 front brake service, this kit pairs 345mm front rotors with DFC 5000 Advanced pads to support consistent pedal feel, quieter stops, and a cleaner installation process. Part number 4502-65044 is listed for 2010-2011 Saab 9-3 front applications with the performance package and 2008-2009 Saab 9-3 front 345mm disc brake rotor applications.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Used For
- Front brake rotor wear and pad replacement on Saab 9-3 models
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor hats and edges
- Brake noise from worn pads or uneven rotor surfaces
- Longer stopping distances caused by worn friction components
- Brake pulsation related to rotor surface condition
Installation Notes
Compatible With 2010-2011 Saab 9-3, front, for vehicles equipped with the performance package and 345mm front disc brake rotors. Compatible With 2008-2009 Saab 9-3, front, for 345mm front disc brake rotor applications. Verify rotor diameter and front axle configuration before ordering. The rotors are shipped dry and ready for installation, and the coating is removed naturally by the brake pads during normal use.
Quality Assurance
Each rotor is machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance where applicable. DFC states that every rotor is checked against OE specifications, and the rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
