I haven't fitted EBC's to my Aero yet, but I've had EBC pads and rotors on my Harley-Davidson Road King for 50k miles, and these parts were on my last Harley for about 10k miles. That's 60k on these pads so far and they appear to be only about half worn! Further, the rotors show absolutely no wear at all, and brake dust has largely disappeared. Brake feel is much better than stock, allowing less lever pressure for a given stopping rate.
To say that I'm impressed is an understatement. Since I'm comparing apples and oranges, how they perform on a Saab is up to Adam and others to report, but I can't see why they wouldn't be as exemplary in that application as I've experienced on my Harley. I plan on buying a set of EBC Greenstuff pads when these PBR (Axxis/Repco) Deluxe wear out, unless someone gives a negative report on them. BTW, I've used the Deluxe pads for about 20 years on various cars and find them excellent as well, but not up to the level I've experienced with the EBC's on the Harley.
