Hey,
Installed Saab Sport chassis with '02 Aero swaybars.
Vehicle 1999 Saab 9-5, 4 cyl, 5 spd man. (150,000 miles).
All I can say is WOW! What a difference. Just took it out for a quick spin and I can tell the difference immediately.
Drives like a new car - not one with 150,000 miles. Ride is firm not harsh and the car is lower but not much. Steering is very responsive - before I turned the wheel and waited for the turn, now I can take the turns faster. Sits nice and flat in the corners no more body roll. I can feel the road better but not brain rattling. I have not gone on the interstate yet but I suspect the floating will have disappeared also.
Definately recommend it! The tech at the dealership was impressed and liked the handling.
P.S.
Weather conditions: Rainy Maine weather, water on road.
Wheels: Double 3 spoke 17" with Falcon Azenis high performance tires (225/45ZR/17).
I also had the 150,000 miles serice and I am ready for another 150K, except I need more power now.
Maybe if I get the time I will post a pic.
Hope this helps. Let me know if there are any particular questions.
