Souping up the 2001 9-5

Well, I would really like to have an Aero, but even with the employee discount program, I can't rationalize selling or trading in my 2001 9-5lpt, completely paid for, with only 32k miles on it (and besides I put the sports exhaust on it when I got it).
So I am thinking that I may go with an ECU upgrade and possibly also the Saab sport suspension kit: wouldn't that be giving me ALMOST an Aero...and for about $3k or so?
So, questions: I've seen two different sources (at least) for the ECU upgrade. Can anyway provide any recommendations from experience?
And the suspension kit: does anyone have the parts number and/or experience with that? Will I have to move up to 17" wheels with that option? I just put last year (meaning I have about 6k miles on them) some awfully good Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's on the car and there's about $800 down the drain if I change wheels (not to mention the cost of new wheels and tires).
