I think you'll find a lot of votes of confidence for the Konis on this board. A more debatable point is springs. Does anyone know of a resource listing the different height drop and stiffness increases for each of the different springs made for a 9-3? Or for any other model, for that matter.
I've got a 99 base 9-3 and basically, I'm interested in the spring that's fairly conservative in lowering and stiffening the ride - maybe just barely more aggressive than a normal Viggen spring.
Other folks are looking for the most aggressive suspension modification for max performance, while still others want to mimic the stock spring with max longevity.
What I'm saying is, we should pool our firsthand knowledge into a resource: listing the ride height, stiffness and longevity of the aftermarket springs. Probably some other easily ascertainable and useful data that I can't think of as well.
If this has already been a poll question, I'm looking like a horse's patootey about now.
