This is interesting.
I have a 2004 9-5 Sedan that was sagging terribly at 80k front and rear, but rear worse and eating tires. Installed Koni Sports on all 4 corners, new OEM wagon springs on the rear and Taliaferro (GS) spacers for koni. The OEM springs still sagged within a year as bill h noted. so I upped the spacer size and sagging has diminished and all is good in the back. Also aligned for less camber and my indy replaced the rear bushings for me.
A few things:
there is no spacer solution for sagging front suspension.
I love the feel of the Konis on 2 notches up. Car was transformed.
Would be nice to have a progressive/cargo spring at least for the rear so the car could better handle being loaded up.
You've reminded me I need to put an order in (for other parts, this topic is not pressing to me at the moment with winter coming)... 3 Saabs too many things to fix at the moment!
