I have driven all three of the Saab 900 braking systems manufactured from 1985 on. The '85 had the (...) does not apply here. The '87 on non-abs was moderately stiff but sudden. The ABS system seems to bite hard, though not as bad as our '88, though sooner. I would not classify the ABS pedal as hard, but mom says it's "touchy". I enjoy the precision over the mooshiness. If the pedal is really hard, something like the master cylinder or calipers is broken, but if it just seems stiffer than usual, it's very nice. Be sure to lubricate all the sliding surfaces on the brake calipers with anti-sieze compound. Doing this religiously twice a year saves a lot of ca$h in replacements for frozen calipers. Your rears cost $380 at the dealership (#@@$&^^&^&#@%$^$%#$% SAAB!@$#%%^#$) or a meager $140 aftermarket. I have not had the (expletive) pleasure of dealing with the fronts yet.
Can I drive the convertible? Can I buy it? Kidding. Enjoy it, maintain it, repeat.
