I have cross drilled rotors on my 9k -94. When I bought them I got the recommendation not to brake too hard during the first 500 km. The worst thing you can do with new rotors is to brake really hard the first thing you do. Now my rotors can cope with really hard driving without getting warped so the recommendation seems to work... The cross drilled once brake a lot better so I think that you should go with those instead of standard.
Initially I had Green Stuff pads and I was happy with those, but dont listen to those who say that they dont leave as much brake dust on your wheels as standard because they do. Second... when I was at Saab Turbo Club of Sweden's track day a few weeks ago my Green Stuff "melted away" after only 6 laps on the track. Now I have Tar-OX pads and they feel a lot better than Green Stuff so if you can find those, buy them instead.
