Stock springs back in in the front

The front stock springs have replaced the B&Gs. Whoever mentioned that they were on the bump-stops was absolutely correct.
The rear suspension still has the B&Gs and stiff rear swaybar setup are still there.
Overall the first impression are;
1) Better balance. The car seems to like having suspension travel in the front and a "buttoned down" rear.
2) Better ride. No more bump-stop hitting. It's a dream to drive like this. Reminds me of the Eibachs a bit.
3) Handling? I'm not sure yet. The roads around here (NH and MA) are nasty right now and I'm on snow tires. 1st guess is less skidpad. I do find it easier to place the car on the road more accurately. This is counter-intuitive but it's definitely easier.
At some point, I'll go try the skidpad at our local BMW tuner when nobody's around. They don't like Saabs there. :) I'm a little concerned about oversteer with such a stiff rear setup.
Other suspension modifications include;
Koni sport dampers
Abbott steering rack brace and TCA bushings
Abbott rear swaybar. Doubled up with stock one.
