I used the Akebono Euro pads and OEM rotors on my 04 Saab 9-5 Aero. Rotor life and pad life has been much better than OEM and a fraction of the nasty brake dust. About the same as OEM for braking performance. I like them a lot.
A day after washing the car the brake dust was already showing with OEM pads, the Akebonos barely show any dust a month later.
Consider doing a fluid replacement while your at it. This usually firms up the pedal a bit, especially if it has been in there a few years, it begins to absorb a bit of moisture and contaminants.
