Thank you YuryS for you response. It was very helpful. I actually found some green stuff pads for 20 bucks and I figured that was a good price so I bought them. They should match up well with the brembo rotors. One question I have is, I looked in my manual at the rotor size for my car. Having the linear the maximum reccomended size was 285mm (302 for the Arc and Aero). Here is the catch, when I bought my linear I did upgrade to the sport package (stiffer suspension and 17" rims). So, on my registration it says my car is the SE edition. The auto parts stores computers recoginized this and they reccomended a rotor that was 288mm so i went with that one. I called my saab dealer to verify this and they only had the linear and aero in there system with no mention of the SE linear. So I was wondering if it would hurt the car to use the 288mm rotors. I am assuming that the only reason the linear uses smaller brakes is because the stock rim is a 15" and cannot accomidate the larger 302mm rotor used by the Aero. My rims being 17" will have no problem holding them and if rim size is the determining factor then I should be fine. If anyone has any expierance or subjestions they are always welcome. And as always, thanks to everyone with there helpful posts regarding lights and brakes.
