Saab brakes work by clamping brake calipers to brake rotors. Some models use brake drums and brake shoes instead. However, they couldn't work properly and avoid getting damaged without an OEM brake pad between each.

Put simply, brake pads create friction. That resistance ultimately slows your car's wheels and stops its tires. There are four kinds, and which are best for your Saab depends both on what you've got and which it supports.

Organic brake pads are for normal, everyday driving. They're reliable and relatively inexpensive, not to mention not too hard on rotors and low brake-dust producers. Metallic brake pads, however, feel firmer feel and can withstand both high heat and brake fade. Many Saab vehicles use these.

Ceramic brake pads, on the other hand, are better in bad weather. Plus, they're pretty quiet, and the brake dust they generate isn't as sticky. Carbon fiber brake pads, though, are the most resilient kind. They stand up to extremely high temperatures and deliver excellent stopping power. Many sports cars and high-performance vehicles use these.

Unfortunately, no brake pad lasts indefinitely. You have to change pads eventually -- most of the time, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. Luckily, there are signs you can look for that'll tell you it's almost replacement time. Besides the obvious -- ABS warning and brake warning lights on the dash -- they include:

Pad damage or degradation
Brakes whining noises
Vibrating while braking
Taking longer to slow down and stop
Grinding noises

Grinds usually mean your brake rotors are warped or damaged, likely due to your pads having worn down.
