Just replaced all four rotors on my '88 900t for 1st time 105K. The rear rotors were still in spec, but what the heck. You can buy good after market rotors for <$70 and pads are $12 +/- for a set per axel. Notes in the SAAB manual show Front rotor tolerances for '88 and later nopsamin. or 21.5mm.REAR is new .0276 in or 7.0 mm. The last year this manual; covers is '93, so the '94 could have changed.
