I just had the 110K kms. service on my '95 900SE and was told that the brake pads and _disks_ will need replacing soon at a cost of over $AUS700. I've replaced the disks once before (around 50K kms. I think). I've never replaced brake disks on any other car and always believed they pretty much lasted the life of the car with, perhaps a little machining. I was told that the 'official' Saab line is they they should be between 240 and 210 mms and mine are now just below that and should be replaced. My question to anyone who knows more about it than I do is: is this replacement unnecessary? Can I just replace the pads and use my 200mm thick brake disks for a while longer? Thanks in advance, Steve = : ^ )
