My advice: STAY AWAY FROM CROSS-DRILLED ROTORS!!! I had Zimm c-d's on my fronts, and took them off after 10K miles. Read the archives for my grunts on this issue, and I'm not the only one. Some people are happy with c-d rotors, but there are more who are unhappy with them.
If you do go that route, be sureto find a pad that works with c-d rotors. Do not use PBR Deluxe with them. They will be eaten up in no time, and will create a lot of dust (something that PBR Deluxe pads do not do when used with flat-faced rotors).
I installed Brembo flat-faced with Axxis pads (now PBR Metal Master). Excellent combo! Granted the MM pads need to be warmed up in the morning (a few quick stops does this), but after that, you'd better sit faw away from the windshield when braking. These things grip like glue!
The price you were quoted is high for something you could *easily* do yourself. Brembo or Zimmerman are just as good, if not better, than oem Saab rotors. And the PBR Deluxe pads grip extremely well and leave no brake dust behind (if used with flat-faced rotors). The PBR MM's will leave behind dust, but grip exceedingly well.
Again, check the archives on this topic. There's tons of info out there!
