Yes, I have both installed on my '99 SE V6. So far, after about 9k miles, I'm completely satisfied. The braking performance under normal conditions is about the same as stock. I have not had the opportunity to try them under extreme conditions yet, but the stock brakes were pretty weak after a few laps of Lime Rock! There is less dust than stock and the cross drilled rotors look good behind my Borbet type E wheels.
The stock pads seem to wear rotors quickly, mine had over 2.5mm wear after 46k miles - albiet after those laps at the track. So far the Zimmerman's are not showing much wear at all, but have had only street use.
On my 2.3 lpt Wagon, there is considerable rotor wear after 31k miles. The brake dust was terrible too. 2 weeks ago I installed EBC Green pads and have driven about 400 miles. Eureka - much less dust, in fact, the front wheels are cleaner than the rears which still have the stock pads. Why Saab and other European manufacturers can't use a pad like this as OEM is a mystery to me. They must get royalties from the wheel cleaner manufacturers!
