Hi everyone, I have a 1989 MY 900 T8 and my suspension is definitely beyond being effective. My MOT is due at the end of this month, so I'm going to ask my garage to replace the suspension anyway as a matter of course. My question is, what are the recommendations for my car? My car is actually the "special" model, so has the same lowering as the T16S. Should I just go for OE Sachs or is there a recommended "performance" kit? I'd like to lower the front a little (25mm ... 40mm seems too extreme) to match the wheel arch space with the rear which had replacement springs about a year ago. While we're on the matter, what do people think of dropping 40mm and running 205/55 ratio tyres on my rotational Aero 15" wheels? I already have the extended bump stop hack, since my car used to run 16" wheels before I bought it. As always, TIA, Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
