People will tell you different things. I only have front disks as I have a furio. Been running greenstuff pads with brand new disks at the same time I put the pads in, since beginning of sept 09.
Stopping power is very good, and there is virtually no wear whatsoever. Virtually no dust either, very clean.
Edit: For the best results / life length you have to run in new disks and pads. Same with new tyres. Incase you didn't know.
Hope this helps out :)

No worries mate. I've heard (for the sake of fairness) that some people hate greenstuff pads, I don't know why. I've never had an issue, and they last well if run in well. :y:

standard stuff on the rear will be fine and cheaper.

no point fitting uprated pads on the rear. stick to standards. Will be more than enough power.
something like 70% of the braking is dealt with upfront on a saxo

exactly what tom says invest the money to your front brakes prob just end up with the backs locking which isnt good really
