The primary brake pad recommendation for 1975-1987 99 and 900 front brakes has been changed to a four pad set that are chamfered, Delco DM 121
composition. These pads provide the best available combination of pad/disc wear and performance characteristics.
Note the following important points regarding these pads:
^
Because they are chamfered for use on both sides of the caliper, these pads are NOT equivalent to the two-pad set of DM121 brake pads (91
02 690). The two-pad, unchamfered DM121 set is designed ONLY for the outside of the disc, together with the Textar T474 pads on the
inboard side.
^
They must not be used for cars with brake drag complaints. If the car has short handbrake travel when it comes in for service, or has a prior
history of brake drag, use the Delco/Textar combination set.
Rear brake pad recommendations remain unchanged. All Saab brake pads are asbestos free.
