I am having a very hard time finding replacement Front Disc Pads for my 2003 Saab 93 Sport Sedan. I am looking for Dust Free pads. I can get OEM pads at Saab but they give off to much brake dust. I have tried 5 differen auto parts stores here and not one has the correct pads for this car.

CAN ANYONE HELP??????????

when working as a tech i found that many cars, especially newer "foreign" cars, dont always have aftermarket support yet. also, while working as a tech, which i dont anymore, we sold akebono brand brake pads,and they were pretty good...
here is a link to aftermarket pads, ranging from stock to racing..

What is really strange is that I went to Autozone to pick up Front Pads for my 2003 Saab 93. They gave them to me and apon taking the whole thing apart I found that the clip on the back to the pad was not the same. Thus it didn't fit. What the heck? They said they were the right ones. I was not trying to use a different year either. SO I went to carquest. They said they had them. When I got there the pads they had were the same ones that Autozone had. What is going on. These places say they have them and then they are not correct. I even upload a pic. The top one is the old pad. The bottom one is the autozone pad. Do I have to go to the dealer to get these pads. Thankfully I had enough pad left on the old one to put it back on and keep driving.

Thanks!
