Took my 2000 9-5SE 36k miles to the dealer today for service. They mentioned I had 10% left on my front brake pads and they should be replaced soon. In order to eliminate/minimize squeaking and vibrations, they recommend the rotors be replaced the same time the pads are replaced, even though they did not see any major rotor damage (warp, grooves, etc). Their logic makes sense however this turns a $200 job into a $600 job.
I will be replacing with ECB GreenStuff pads. I HATE the trademark SAAB dust.
Any comments/opinions/recommendations?
