Give your Saab's front brakes a fresh friction surface with the Akebono EURO EUR972 ceramic disc brake pad kit, a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2011 Saab 9-3 and 2010-2011 Saab 9-3X (all engines).

Part of Akebono's EURO Ultra-Premium line, these pads are designed and formulated around what European car owners ask for: performance, cleanliness and rotor compatibility. The formulation satisfies the 2021 low-copper content regulations, and Akebono describes it as environmentally friendly.

  • Ceramic friction material: The friction material composition is ceramic, with an integrally molded friction attachment.
  • Low-copper formulation: Formulated to satisfy the 2021 low-copper content regulations.
  • Akebono engineering: Akebono calls itself the originator of ceramic brake technology and is an original-equipment brand. It develops friction materials with a focus on noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) analysis and control.
  • Package contents: A pad wear sensor, brake lubricant and abutment clips are not included.

Signs your brake pads may need replacing include squealing or grinding when braking, a longer stopping distance, or pads worn thin at inspection. The listed applications use one kit. Replacing the pads on both sides of the axle at the same time is recommended for even, balanced braking. Country of origin: United States.
