one more vote in the 'loud' column ... Posted by john Fitzgerald [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Opinion seems to be against cross-drilled, David Ingram, Tue, 30 Aug 2005 06:01:20 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
had a set of nice, Group 6 pads years ago on my '80 99. Lots of loud 'whirring' and much quicker to give in to rust. That was 9 or ten years ago -- since, OEM Saab rotors on all the 9ks in the pack [87, 97 cse, 97 aero] and various PBR metalmaster made in Australia pads. Great grip, good feel, live with the dust.
They last a long time, too.
BTW, seems like the oem Saab rotors are very resistant to warping, provided you don't use the parking brake after heavy braking when you park. My Aero rotors are stock at 92k mi and are in good shape.
