Nope.....and not *huge*.... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Does 2004 9-3 Linear Sport Wheel Pkg still include..., saw, Sat, 18 Oct 2003 15:33:13 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
17's on and Arc or a Linear gets you wheels and tires only, not the lower ride height of the sport suspension from the Vector/Aero. Package now includes tire pressure monitoring system so price is now $1,295 for the Linear. An arc already has 16's so it's only $1,000 on the Arc sedans and convertible.
I wouldn't consider this *huge* as the secret to the handling of any 9-3SS is not the suspension height or the width of the tires, but the improved weight distribution and the Re-Axs rear suspension. Go drive a 15" equipped Linear, still an incredibly handling car and still with 215mm of rubber on the road vs only 225mm for the 17's.
I for one welcome a 17" wheel packge that's not lowered. I don't find the Vector/Aero sport suspension to be particularly firmer than the normal Linear/Arc, a little yes, but not much and certainly no where near as punishing as a Viggen is/was.
Vector/Aero springs are available in the accessories catalog.
