I also have a 9-3 Combi 2.0T (2007) and I had to replace the rear pads at 25K. I put in Akebono and now have 51K with very little wear. The fronts are still original and look like they will last 100K. I borrowed a brake tool kit from Advance Auto (no charge) and this made the job very easy.
The Akebonos are virtually dust free and they work very well.
I replaced the original crappy Pirelli P6s at 36K with Cooper Zeon RS3s after a favorable review by Consumer Reports. What a difference! They are much quieter, excellent in the rain and dry and they are lasting longer too. At $83 each an excellent investment.
