found this Saab cheap, but it has very poor maintenance history. I had to replace rear rotors, calipers and pads. E-brake cable was way loose and now works very well when not cold. I even lubed the cable best I could when doing the brake job, but the cable is neither frayed nor sticky. The driver side caliper didn't stick at all only passenger. I now plan on replacing caliper, pads and rotor again, and will flush system again, but it is very clean I used a Motive power bleeder and each wheel was flushed to clear after siphoning the old fluid out from master before started the bleed. I have very solid petal. I've seen in posts sometime issues with fluid or rear brake hoses. I didn't think to check the hoses other that for cracking.
