Poly bushings and Koni's installed on Viggen

After having my adj Koni Sports already installed on the back fro a while, I finally got them installed on the front. I got the shocks from GM (three trolls).
I also had poly bushings installed on the front control arms/subframe connectors. I got the bushings from NickT(genuinesaab).
It was the first work that I didn't do myself. I just didn't have the time to tear the whole front end apart and wrestle with the bushings to get them out. So I asked Viking Saab in Gaithersburg, MD to do it. I've known Eric for a little while now through the wassaab club, but never had them do any work to my cars before.
They were great, Eric even stayed late to get it done so I could have the car back so I could play around with Bo's(serendipity) STi. The price for labor was very reasonable, cheaper than any quotes I got from other saab shops in the area.
The results:
This was one of those mods that you can tell the difference right away (I love that). Much tigher, and I can adjust the shocks to go as tight as I want. I can't wait to get it to summit point in May. The car has almost zero torque steer and tramming now - not bad for any fwd car with ~350 ft.lbs. of torque, not to mention the very criticized Viggen.
