Rotors wear along with the pads. You can see if you run a finger across a rotor that they are not perfectly flat - they will be grooved kind of like an old vinyl record. If you install new pads on the old rotor, then the new pads will not stop very well until they wear into the same pattern as the rotor. That's why it's usually recommended to turn rotors on a lathe to create a perfectly flat surface for the new pads. However, the Saab rotors wear down pretty quickly to the point that if they are turned on a lathe then they would be below the minimum allowed thickness. This is exacerbated by the old dusty Saab pads that wore the rotor way faster than the pads wore.
9-5 rotors are pretty inexpensive, I would just get a pair of Brembo or Zimmerman rotors and replace them along with the pads.
