The Brad we are talking about is Brad Schaffner of George's Imports (http://www.kcsaab.com) the SAAB dealer in Kansas City. You can reach him at brad@kcsaab.com or the number on the Web Site.

Brad has been tuning and racing SAABs for years and definately has a passion for it. He is always willing to share his knowledge and is a great guy to work with (he developed the resistor trick for LH 2.4 as well as some T5 tuning tricks that he shares) and he knows his sh*t.

Brad sells several performance products as well as manufacturing several products that are not available elsewhere. I have his modified vacuum advance and IC fan. He is also making a downpipe specifically for the TE05 turbo that I'm patiently waiting for him to finish (OK, not so patiently). He is also an Aquamist dealer and is the resident water injection advocate/expert.

The part that you are asking about is springs with adjustable top spring plates. You can have the springs in any linear rate you choose (50# increments). Brad recommends 500# front and 650# rear for neutral handling. Some on this site have used the set up and loved the handling. The ride height has 3" of adjustment. The lowest setting is 13" wheel center to fender lip. That would drop my 90 SPG just over one inch.

Here is the thread that talks about them from when Brad first introduced them:
