My preference would be the Kilen.
A 25 mm drop on a 900, but stiffer wire like the SPG springs.
You can hassle ScanWest for a set for about $250, I believe.
They used to have them, but are complaining about distro.
You can get Kilen from ElkParts in England:
<http://www.elkparts.co.uk/product_info.php/cPath/326_525_556/products_id/896?osCsid=fe141d1b7fbec9a920a337b04caa48b9>
Last I checked the Kilen from ElkParts would be about $400 w/ ship.
And for the $400 you can get the Abbott Springs from ScanWest
<http://www.abbottracing.com/2003/tuning/c900/chassis/c900_springs.htm>
with a 30mm drop on a 900 and thicker wire ala a spg springs again.
Which makes the price of $250ish shipped for SPG9 Jamex
<http://www.group9performance.com/saab_lowering.asp#intrax>
all the more compelling.
However according to Ubipa:
<http://www.pajjakid.com/ubipa/springs.htm>
The Intrax/Jamex/SaabTuners? are the same wire as 900 turbo cut 40mm?
To save money I plan to cut 900 turbo springs.
Also it seems with the 900 front end being heavier,
99s don't sit perfectly level with 900 springs,
so by cutting you can compensate.
And for that matter Ubipa has the most complete spring info for Springs,
both available and discontinued.
I think he has everything listed but Brad's Adjustable Springs...
