I disagree that I have misunderstood the WIS tables.
In fact, the WIS nominal tables of ride height state to use as a "guide" in the opening sentence.
Anybody who has a 9-5 vehicle may certainly use the WIS tables for what they were intended--a GUIDE.
If you apply another product as I did--KONI struts and shocks, the WIS tales provided wonderful, accurate, and useful information in getting the camber adjusted (with shims). That's the secret--- cross reference the current ride height with wheel size = the correct rear camber setting from the WIS table.
Not as you write " If you introduce aftermarket parts or shims the tables are no longer valid." at least according to my indie.
They are VERY VALID:
I've enjoyed no inner tire wear in the last year/20k miles. My experience. My car. True.
I'm the typical driver... mostly one or two adults 90+% of the time. Luggage, packages, groceries....life...
I am not driving the car fully laden (ie carrying 10 squares of roofing shingles, or similar load) to max vehicle capacity (that I'm aware of---my g/f's luggage may be plentiful at times but not that heavy) nor have I ever knowingly exceeded vehicle capacity.
After 90,000 miles on my 2001 LPT, I felt the cushy oem suspension on my car needed an update---I went on all 4 corners with KONI suspension with advice from my indie, and genuinesaab.com phone calls, and from posters here on the 9-5BB.
It's a very wonderful solution.
Other owners who read this BB who seeking relief from inner tire wear can take solace in that this shim procedure "flat out" works, and will work for them very likely for their remaining ownership period of their 9-5 (barring an unforeseen accident).
