The sad part is that one pad is not good for ALL drivers.
And you will see that by all posts supporting one or the other barnd and other posts opposing the brand.
A harder pad (less dust, less wear) might not be good for a gentle driver since the pad needs to be used and abused to keep a fresh surface.
If you drive a car very careful (saving gas in these days) the pad and rotor might be glazed due to the gentle driving style and you will get squealing noises.
If you car is parked so that lawn sprinklers hit it now and then, that might also create noises.
You might have to go back to Saab OEM old pads to resolve it even though you will get the dust and wear problem back.
I have not had any complaints yet about the 2005 and up Saab pads and I have installed quite a few sets by now.
