They run great in Saabs and I don't trust anything else in their price range. Bosch Platinums are alright as well, and some people with good experience do recommend them, but I always recommend NGKs. Stay away from splitfires, or you'll burn in hell. As for wires, Bougicord makes the stock wires, and they are recommendable. As people on this NG will no doubt tell you, I also recommend Magnecor wires, as I've had great experience with them. K&N does make both replacement filter elements for 900s, and they also make a bolt-on airbox replacement in the form of a conical filter. http://www.group-6.com is one source for both varieties. -Justin
