by about a year or so. I got what I think are one of the last sets from Genuine Saab a couple years back and it took 6 months to get them, as they were coming from Sweden and I think they may have been in one of the last production runs.

However, some 25K miles later, I think some good shocks (Koni or Bilstein) and SAS sway bars will provide virtually the same benefits. Remember, the springs only lower the car 10mm, and are not all that much firmer than stock 9K springs (I'd guess 10%). I have the Aero springs and shocks and SAS set up and it's great, but it's actually the bars that make the car feel so good. AS I've noted here before, the bars transform the car.
