Saab 9-3 Sport Saloon / Convertible / Combi (Wagon/Estate) / Turbo X / AWD (2003 on) / Brake parts
« on: 07 July 2011, 11:08:23 PM »
Bit disappointed to note that my rear brake discs are showing signs of wear, not the sort of wear I would expect at approx 22k miles since I fitted them. Genuine parts from my local Saab dealer. The car has done 76,721 miles. Usage maily motorway. The pads are about half worn, but the discs are worn and slightly grooved. Now if this is fair wear for the mileage, then OK but I am now tempted to replace them soon with aftermarket either Brembo or Mintex items, thereby saving me some wonga and hopefully getting just about the same mileage. The fronts, strangely, although now getting worn, are on the same pads and discs as when I bought the car at 51k miles. Boy do the brakes work well - I can get the ABS working on a dry road and that is with Contisport 3 tyres.
