Not an Aero but my 99 9-5SE got first new pads at @55,000 miles. They were EBC Version 1 Green Stuff. Rotors were still original and I had them cleaned up with a single pass across each surface. The pads and rotors did quite well until about 115,000 miles when I had EBC Sport Rotors and new EBC Green Stuffs installed. THe only problem I had with the brakes was when going down very steep mountain grades with my travel trailer (2,000 LBS) for more than a few miles. Even with trailer brakes the brakes were shuddering at the end of the run. Will be testing the new setup on way to SOC03 so can report back then on effectiveness of the new brakes. Rears were changed completely at 100,000 miles with Saab OEM stuff.
