The Story
Brake Kit for Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS
The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit combines coated brake rotors and advanced friction pads in one front-and-rear service package. Part number 4504-65004 is built for specific Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS applications, including models with 285mm front rotor requirements.
Key Features
- Complete disc brake kit with rotors and pads for front and rear service
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings
- Dry-processed rotors ship ready to install, with no oil coating to clean off before service
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother braking feel
- 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help improve noise, vibration, and harshness control
- OE-style rotor casting and machining to tight tolerances for stable braking performance
Product Details
DFC designed this brake service kit for drivers who need a direct-fit rotor and pad solution for the Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS. The GEOSPEC rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined for OE-level dimensional accuracy, and inspected for balance and critical measurements. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for consistent friction, with post-curing and scorching steps that help deliver stable performance from the first stop. Part number 4504-65004 is a practical choice for front-and-rear brake service on 2004-2011 Saab 9-3 and 2007-2008 Cadillac BLS applications listed below.
Vehicle Fitment
- Fits 2010-2011 Saab 9-3, front and rear, without Performance Package; 285mm Front & 278mm Rear Rotors
- Fits 2008-2009 Saab 9-3, front and rear
- Fits 2004-2005 Saab 9-3, front and rear
- Fits 2007-2008 Cadillac BLS, front and rear, Mexico; 285mm Front Disc
- Fits 2007-2008 Cadillac BLS, front and rear; 285mm Front Disc
- Fits 2006-2007 Saab 9-3, front and rear; 285mm Front Rotors; Solid Rear Rotors
Common Brake Service Issues This Kit Can Address
- Brake pulsation caused by worn or uneven rotors
- Reduced stopping performance from aged pads
- Brake noise related to pad wear or poor shim control
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Extended brake service time from rotors that require cleaning before installation
Installation Notes
Confirm rotor size and brake package details before ordering, especially on 2010-2011 Saab 9-3 models without the Performance Package and on applications with 285mm front rotors. This kit is intended for front-and-rear brake service, so verify axle-specific fitment against the vehicle’s brake configuration before installation. Follow standard brake service procedures, including proper pad bedding after installation.
Quality Assurance
Each rotor is 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every finished rotor is checked to meet OE specifications. The brake pads are post-cured, scorched, and assembled with premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for consistent friction and improved NVH characteristics. DFC backs the rotors with a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4504-65004 is engineered as a complete brake kit for dependable service on the listed Saab 9-3 and Cadillac BLS applications.
