I admit to being a very modest driver regarding day to day use of my car. I read a good article often quoted on the 9-5 board by Carroll Smith for stoptech regarding how chemical deposits called cementites might be the source of the uneven grabbing of the pads on the rotor surface and tried the suggested process of repeated hard stops to try to burn the rotor surfaces clean,similar to the way pads sometimes get bedded in, but the problem remains. No way to accuratley assess if the calipers might be sticking a bit, but generally the car is bahaving properly. My guess is that excessive pad drag might also show up as reducced fuel mileage and this is not the case. Car actually gets about 31 plus on highway drives and averages about 28,generally ablve what other Aero owners report. Since the rotors in question are Saab rotors,that covers all three of your points. anything else that you can identify that might be the issue? Thanks
