1994-2002 [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
I have used Akebono ceramic pads on my 9-5 AERO. On the plus side the brake dust is virtually eliminated. I do not like the feel of these pads. I feel like I've lost the initial grab of the OEM pads and overall braking power. When I need to stop quickly then I really don't care about brake dust!
Our 1996 SE vert has AXXIS XBG pads which have low dust but low initial grab. Better than the Akebonos but I am about to switch to AXXIS ULT which is a ceramic that is supposed to give more initial grab with a little more dust.
The pads I really like are HAWK HPS which have excellent grab but generate a medium amount of dust but it cleans off easy. However the Hawk HPS pad is not available for the 1996 900. I don't know about their availability for the 9-3.
Let us know what you decide and post an update once you've used them for a while.
