You'll find that Saabs require a bit of different driving technique, as does the turbo. I actually find that my Saab gets _more_ stable as speed increases, in contrast to my nimble Japanese cars which are terrific at lower speeds. Buy Adjustable Konis. Worth every penny. You can do the springs if you want (it's the same labor). Most springs are rather stiff. Eibach makes a set that are progressive - normal ride under normal conditions, stiffen more as load increases. A nice compromise.
