I grew tired of replacing brake pads before 15,000 miles - they did not
squeal, but they did not last and left black dust everywhere. I went to
semi-metallic aftermarket pads, based on recommendation of the Saab
technician. They squealed, but they lasted over 50,000 miles - and little
dust.
You did not mention the model - mine was a 1986 900 - no ABS.
