The "performance" of the pad, and the non-squealing, and the low dusting are all pluses. Yes. True.

It's just very simple: eEuroparts WILL NOT WARRANTY their rotors if the application is with EBC GREENSTUFF PADS. eEuroparts tells internet buyers like me to seek out remedies with EBC (the manufacturer) for rotor warping.

The guy on the phone at eEuroparts says that their lawyers will not allow them to "put this in writing at their website" due to the fact that EBC would likely sue them.

Again, eEuroparts, not DEAN, asserts to me that EBC knowingly has a production issue of EXCESSIVE copper in their GREENSTUFF pads (and HAS known this for over 1.5 years), which, in SAAB applications causes rotors to warp, and that "insiders" at EBC are FULLY AWARE of this.

There were no "deposits" on the pads or rotors on my car as you outline. So your deposits theory was not working in my case.

All I want for our SAABNET readers to know is that if they elect to purchase this EBC pads with eEuroparts rotors solution: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

So I'm out over 100 bucks @ eEuroparts for the OEM rotors, which for a time will adversely impact my opinions and referrals. Too bad.

EBC is trying to make it right by supplying replacement pads to me at NO CHARGE. Great Customer Service. They did not tell me to take it up with the people that sold me the rotors.

A clean solution of brakes and pads should last more than 90 days time--I think 99% of the readership would agree with me here.

I am not a daily race track driver, so Porterfield Pads/high performance pads I doubt would be applicable to me.

I guess I'll know more after the replacements arrive next week.

If I had it to do over again, I'd probably stay with the ORIGINAL SAAB pads and rotors, but the reality is that I feel it proper to allow EBC to try to make it right....

Caveat emptor...Buyer beware !!
