The rears on my 2006 9-3 2.0T SC lasted all of 22,000 miles. And that's with a manual trans and almost no city driving. I checked the rotors and found them to be less than half worn, so I took the cheap way out and just changed the pads. I went with EBC Greenstuffs for a total of $59 /free shipping. It took me maybe an hour to do both sides, although you do need a tool to retract (screw in) the piston. BTW, the Greenstuffs are just as dusty as the OEM's. When these wear out, I'll replace the rotors and likely go with ceramic pads, as the front are. I've now got about 10k on the EBC's and aside from the dust, I'm pleased with them, although I don't expect them to last any longer than the OEM's.
