I played around with this a few months ago. First I put on EBC Greenstuff kevlar pads, which were extremedly noisy. They also didn't stop the dust which was making my alloy wheels go black. Then I added grooved discs from Trent Saab, and the brakes were still noisy and the pads wore out within 10,000 miles. So I put Saab pads back on and the brakes are now both quiet and powerful.
Net result - next time my discs/rotors need changing I think I'll stick with the standard Saab part. The grooved discs didn't make the brakes noisier, though they will have been ground down somewhat by the EBC pads! The only thing that would change my mind would be if I could afford bigger discs as sold by Abbott. Have fun anyway - Bill (1993 CSE)
