I have a 2001 LPT wagon (with the 200hp ECU) installed and ~ 128,000 miles. I'd have to say I am very pleased with the KONI suspension on all corners, purchased from genuinesaab.com. I have had it installed for about 25,000 miles now.
The benefit of the KONI system is that you can adjust the firmness to your taste. I did not want the "soft" OEM ride of the LPT, nor did I want the "firm" AERO like ride. So, the KONI's were the natural choice. On my vehicle, they are set one round firmer than the "middle" selection.
At the time I did the suspension, I did ALL components....ie lower ball joints, strut links, bearing caps, bushings, rubber bits...etc. etc....., and the rear springs had just been replaced by SAAB on the CPO warranty at ~ 80,000 miles.
I do not remember the $$ I paid for installation, sorry, but I had a terrific indie out here in W. Michigan perform the lenghty task, and his rates are very reasonable vs. local dealership.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
