The rear Akebonos on my wife's 9-3SC have been great.
The rear Akebonos on my '08 9-5 Aero were frighteningly under impressive. I replaced them with Textars.
My favorite pads for the 9-5 were Mintex Red Box. Alas, they are no longer marketed/sold in the US. They also were rough on rotors but boy, did the car stop fast with them!
