The Viggen brake kit is more than a bit pricy, try $876.95. What I would suggest is power bleeding and if this isn't enough, new rotors (I use and like Brembos) and the newer style Akebono brake pads from Genuinesaab. The really nice thing about the Akebonos is that they produce very little dust.
Installation of the Viggen brakes should be fairly easy and not much more work that a complete brake job (pads and rotors) as the calipers need to come off to change the rotors. If it is done in a shop they should bleed them anyway which will fill the new calipers with brake fluid, so the only extra work is disconnecting the hose from the old calipers and connecting it to the new ones.
