Mike you will have to decide if you want a high-end street pad that can
somewhat cope at the track, or if you want a light-to-medium duty race pad that you will have to swap out for street driving.
If this is your first track event or you just don't threshold brake like a madman, the hi-po street pads will be fine - here are some that I'm familiar with:
KVR Carbon Fiber https://www.kvrperformance.com/world/world.html
EBC Greenstuff http://www.ebcbrakes.com.au/green.htm
Porterfield R4S http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/
If you already are bringing on the ABS at every corner, or can threshold brake with the ABS disabled, the above pads will not last a 20 min session. Learned that last week, see below.
Choices for race pads:
Porterfield R4 (R4E for endurance) Carbon/Kevlar http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/
EBC Redstuff (Yellowstuff for endurance)
Performance Friction - no listings for saabs at all (that I could find)
Hawk Performance - no listings for newgen saabs
*Track day in my '98 SET: Zimmerman X-drilled rotors with Cryo treatment and KVR pads. If the pad (any pad, really) overheats, it deposits binder resin on the rotor face, which reduces friction and causes pulsation due to the uneven surface. (Verified by the KVR rep on the phone)
