Did some upgrades on my SAAB today...

Better brakes, and a stainless performance exhaust.

Looks good. I really like the exaust.

looks great....
so do ya like the drilled/slotted rotors?
I love mine thas why im asking. did you notice slightly better braking with no fade at hard braking at high speeds?

Brakes are getting better, think they are bedded in now, managed to haul it down from 130mph today without fuss, better initial bite than standard.
Have to be careful from cold, as the EBC Red stuff ceramic pads are designed for fast road / track use, so a bit wooden when cold, but doesn;t take much to wake them up.

I was just about to ask that about the redstuff. thas the same pads I have also on my drilled/slotted.
I havent noticed a huge difference when cold though. yea braking is a bit slow to start but after first few stops they are awsome.

Next question is...........

Next upgrade.... do I improve the handling... or do I add more power...
Currently at 230bhp/350nm... could get that to 280bhp/440nm in about 15 mins with an ECU upgrade, or for very similar money I could upgrade to Full Eibach pro kit suspension, can't afford both at once

Decisions decisions

What brand exhaust is that? do you know if they sell and ship to the US? I'm having trouble finding a good system for my sister's SAAB.
