Bendix Ceramic Rear Brake Pads SBC698 — Rear Fit for Select GM Models, Quiet & Durable

Bendix Premium SBC698 ceramic rear brake pads are direct-fit replacement pads engineered to restore dependable, quiet braking for compatible Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac and Oldsmobile models.

These Bendix ceramic rear pads are built to match the original equipment's dimensions and performance characteristics so installation is straightforward and stopping feel stays familiar. Constructed from advanced ceramic friction material and corrosion-resistant backing plates, the SBC698 is optimized for everyday driving — commuting, errands, and highway cruising — where smooth modulation and long service life matter most.

How do these pads compare to original equipment?

They are manufactured to OE-style specifications to mirror the fit, thickness, and mounting points of factory pads. That means minimal modification, reliable caliper alignment, and preserved parking-brake engagement where applicable.

• Exact-fit design for listed vehicle applications
• Brake feel and pedal travel close to factory behavior
• Reduced likelihood of noise from improper fit

Will ceramic material improve braking and noise levels?

Ceramic formulations offer consistent friction across a wide temperature range and typically produce less audible squeal than semi-metallic compounds. These pads emphasize quiet operation and smooth deceleration for daily driving, while still delivering dependable stopping performance.

• Lower dust generation than many metallic pads
• Smoother, quieter engagement under normal driving
• Engineered to resist brake fade in common conditions

Are these pads durable and low maintenance?

Bendix designs the SBC698 with wear-resistant materials and corrosion-resistant hardware to extend service life and reduce maintenance frequency. Regular inspections and proper bed-in are still recommended to maximize longevity.

• High-quality backing plates resist rust
• Durable ceramic friction compound for extended pad life
• Industry testing for consistent, predictable wear patterns
