Steven,
SAAB used the 8.5" clutch up to 1989 on the 900 turbo but the 1990 and up 900 clutch is at 9" which does have its advantage over the early design.
A Kevlar clutch lining would give better longevity and a combination of carbon, metallic, etc. fill would provide better overall hold capabilities. A increase in pressure plate spring rate would allow for a dramatic increase in hold but when the clutch is disengaged (clutch pedal engaged), the pressure is greater to the flywheel and more wear could occur to the engine crankshaft thrust bearing but this takes a high pp spring rate to allow for concern.
Best of luck and regards,
GSK at SWEDISH DYNAMICS,INC.
