Don't use the "snap-on discs" they only interfere with the cooling of the disc. The reason the brakes on the SAAB are good has to do with the compound on the discs, which has to do with the amount of dust. Live with it. I have found better pads -- carbon-kevlars from Porterfield -- but the dust is no different (nor is the price better, but the pads themselves are better than the OEM). >Larry Baker wrote: > >> I've just joined the ranks of SAAB owners with a >> 93 and so far am pretty impressed.
