I find the brakes on my 2004 9-3SS to be excellent match for the car, right out of the box. And I've had SQR software on board for years! So I'd second Nick's suggestions to get the 9-3SS Aero brakes. I would add to NOT use ceramic pads though. While they do resist dust and last a long time, they don't have a confidence inspiring bite when seriously pushed. Saab does still offer the older/original non-ceramic spec pad that first came on these cars, I find that one really good for fast street driving with occasional track days too. Although I did get a soft pedal after continuous hot laps, the brakes never 'went away'. And there are always more aggressive pad choices too from the aftermarket.
In my experience, the point where you would actually need the next level of braking power on this car (multi-piston calipers, 2-piece rotors, etc) is if you are building a dedicated track car.
