The Saturn rotors do not fit the 9-5 Aero or 9-3 Viggen, no aftermarket for those.

But your linear has lots of aftermarket options. Start with eEurparts.com

The rotors are not bad. Check the main caliper bolt head style incase you need some torx type sockets or a non standard head that your tool box can't handle. Search for drs<underscore>install on this BB for pads only and index screw issues. Then search on NG900 BB for pads and rotors. Again fastener head styles to change.

The most frustrating part can be the external caliper tentioning wire springs. Do one side at a time so you can confirm from the otherside how it goes.

Check the slider bolt head style too. Sometimes you can replace pads woth the slider still mounted on the main caliper mounts, but might be more difficult than removing the slider bolts then pads, then mounts, then rotors etc.

Watch the index screws. May change from hex to torx. Get a light and make sure you have it right. Clean crap out of its socket and drive the bit fully in with a hammer. You may need a 1/4" hammer type impact wrench from Sears to break it free. I strongly suggest not using allen key type tools for this as they can bend(twist). The twist makes them 'cam' themselves out of the head and trashed the (soft) head while doing that. You can try them, but if they don't come loose with reasonable force, use a socked mount type bit, those are much harder and stronger.

If a screw head socked gets messed up, one can bang metal back into it with a hammer, ball-peen type is nice, then take the hex or torx bit and drive it onto the partly closed up hole woth a stout hammer and go from there. This can work and is more satisfactory than drilling out the index screw.

You need neversieze, loctite blue for the main bolts. Do not do anything else until you get the index screw loose, its the show stopper if you cannot.
