I got them installed today & drove about 50 or 60 miles on them up in the mountains here around LA...Some decent roads but some (old topanga) have a few bumps...I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!! The difference is amazing...One thing I always felt about the car before (I never should have sat in the viggen) was that no matter where I adjusted the seat (manual seats) I always felt like my but was leaning forward...Like there was a decline from the back of the seat to the front...Not any more...I've got the factory 15's still on it & the drop (box says 1.4 seen everywhere from 1.1 (30mm) to 1.4) doesn't make the car look tacky...Which is what I was trying to avoid...Looks nice & rides great...I didn't do an alignment either...Like I've read you should...Took it up to about 80 on the highway & was straight...I would recommend these to anyone who, like me, doesn't want to completely lose ride quality on the highway & even around town...But wants a more aggressive stance & a tighter ride...I've got a 2001 9-3 base...The issues I've read & heard about hitting the bump stops are unapparant to me so far...I've heard more about this on the 9000 models which the B&G's drop it another 1/2 inch or so farther...I took a pic today but can't seem to make it stick to this page...Any suggestions? Would love to share...By the way...These springs are cheaper than both the eibachs & the Abbotts...Not to slam either...But B&G seems to get a bad rap on here for some reason...I've got the factory shocks on too...
