After using PBR (or PBS?)ceramic pads and Brembo rotors for a year on my 1999 9-5, I was fed up with the excessively dirty brake dust and rotor wear. I recently replaced them with Zimmermann cross-drilled front rotors and Akebono Euro ceramic pads. After more than 1,000 miles, I am amazed at the absence of dirty dust and the braking seems just fine. Other postings to SaabNet have indicated that Saab stock replacement pads are Akebono brand after a certain year (2004+?). I called Akebono USA and a tech said that the Euro model pad was slightly less dirty than their stock formulation. Properly bedding in the pads upon pad and rotor replacement is critical to achieving the designed braking performance.
Best of Luck,
Kirk D.
