and have very long lifetime and generate zero dust. Pre-2006 pads are semi-metallic ATE - very dusty and wear out themselves and rotor quickly.

The consensus on this board is not to use pre-2006 OEM pads anymore (yes, 2006+ pads fits pre-2006 9-5s nicely).

Also note that OEM Saabs Akebonos seems to be of better quality than the aftermarket Akebonos - both in the initial look and the wear profile.
