Dynoed my (slightly Abbottized) 9-3, got 17" wheels+Eibach

and all in one day!!
First I went to the dyno. The run was done in fourth gear and the guys there had a hard time finding a spot to tie down the car.
The results were most satisfactory:
9-3 LPT originally 155hp mods:
Abbott ("200hp") ECU running at 1.0 bar
Viggen intercooler
K&N filter
215.56hp @ 5625rpms (197 at the wheels)
max torque 32Kgm @ 3646rpms (or 23.8 ft/lbs if I'm not mistaken on the conversion).
Then I went to have Dunlop SP9000 225/45/17 tires mounted on the Radius R1 wheels I have and also install the Eibach springs. The tire guy looked at the front suspension and declared he wouldn't be able to install the springs so I went off to my mechanic to have them installed while he mounted the tires.
As some other people have mentioned -notably Schu-, the Eibachs seemed smoother than stock with the 15" wheels! Smoother and much more progressive and of much higher quality.
Anyway, I installed the wheels&tires too and was off. Initial impressions: the car looks MEAN!! Ride quality is not bad, similar to Konis cranked 1 1/2 turn on stock springs and rims. I'll be taking it easy on the tires for the next few days though.
