front rotors - almost easy

Just wanted to thanks everyone who contributed to the rotor subject, especially Dean for his detailed posts and Nick Taliaferro for the instruction with torque values on his website.
Installed new front rotors today in an attempt to cure the severe shimmy observed when braking from high speeds. The rotors came from eEuroparts, Zimmerman cross-drilled, free shipping to Canada, delifered on the third day after ordering. The installation was very easy, thanks to the information found on Saabnet, except for one small rotor screw, which was stuck, and cost me two trips to the hardware store. I could not find the torx bit for the impact driver, so I ended up drilling the hole a little deeper and using the screw remover bit.
The shimmy is gone, and the initial stopping power before bedding in was not that bad (at least, I expected worse).
P.S. I keep admiring the effectiveness of hand cleaning/degreasing cremes. How do they work, really?
P.P.S. And I saved about $300 CAD compared to the quote from the dealership. Beer anyone? ;)
