It's not the brakes, in my opinion-it's the sorry tires they put on the new V6 Aeros (ContiProContact all season "high performance" tires). In Europe, the V6 Aeros get Michelin Pilot PS2 summer tires.
Again, SAAB dropped the ball for US models. I suspect that the class action lawsuit regarding bent wheels in 900SETs way back when had something to do with SAAB putting less than stellar tires and no factory 18" wheel options in the US.
I had Goodyear GS-D3s on my '01 9-5, and they were the best tires I've ever driven on. I' plan to get a fresh set of GS-D3s, pull off the Contis and store them in my garage. My Aero SC deserves no less.
