#1 of 3 2004 Saab 9-5 Aero - Excessive Brake Dust by jlamson Aug 29, 2007 (4:34 pm)
I just bought this car a couple months ago, and I love it. Does anybody know if there are any brake pads out there on the market that don't cause my front rims to get black after a few days of driving? I'm not certain, but I think the front brake pads are Saab brand. Thanks, --Jim Replies to this message: hhirsch (Nov 26, 2007 11:38 am) jat007 (May 08, 2009 4:25 am)

Nothing...nada! Contact eEuroparts for Saab OEM and Akebono ceramic pads (no dust). You can leave the dust behind you.
