Yeah, some day I may tear into the head, or consider a hybrid turbo, but I like the way it is now, and, quite frankly, don't want a divorce over this hobby!

On the sways, it really settles the car. The SAS unit is truly massive next to the OEM bar. Between that and the VRK and springs, the car really "bear-hugs" the road. Love it.

On the springs, for now I've kept the OEM shocks and struts. I had thought about the Koni's or Bilsteins. I tend to take one upgrade at a time to observe the results. I have to tell you I like the OEM shocks and the Abbott springs. I don't have any noticable leaks from these shocks and am quite happy with the ride. Even after 100,000 miles now.

I did take the car on a business trip to Boston and back from D.C. a couple of weeks ago with the Abbott springs and it does get fatiguing. I think it'll now be relegated to local stuff unless there is some Saab club event I'm headin' to... The wife's Audi will do the long distance stuff from now on (much softer, compliant ride...)

Hmmm. Now that Maptun turbo upgrade looks awfully nice!

      - What should get priority: shocks or springs? n/m, Bill Cannastra, Mon, 5 Nov 2001 14:39:27
        Well, for me the springs really do the job. But that, Talladega900, Mon, 5 Nov 2001 15:23:39
