Yeah, it started with the front in 06 except the Aero with the bigger pads, they were still the short lived dusty ones.
I have noticed that too that after about 50% is gone, the Saab Akebono pads goes down quickly after that. It has caught me by surprise a couple of times when I looked in my files and didn't think a car was at all due for brakes yet and when I take a look, it is only 10-20% left.
I also noticed that on the 9-5 and older 9-3 model, Saab has gone back to Textar pads unless you specifically use the 12759808 P/N which is still Akebono. If you go by the book and use the 93192749 pad, that one is made by Textar and is probably shorter life dusty one.
It's a never ending string of surprises all the time.
