Suspension
Posted by Simon_Creek (more from Simon_Creek) on Sun, 16 Jan 2000 10:51:30
Hi All
I am looking for a spot of advice on suspension. I have a 1990 900 EMS (top of
range non turbo 2 dr coupe in Oz) 5spd with 148,000 kms. The shocks are not too
bad, but definetly going soft and I want to change them.
I have read the FAQ's on shocks and see a difference in opinion. However, a
summary of those opinions may be that Koni, Bilstein and Sachs shocks are all
great for handling, not too good for comfort. Also, it would seem the SPG /
Aero 900's have different springs and sway bars, and that Saab have offered
suspension upgrade kits in the past.
With the above in mind, if I want great handling, tight cornering but not too
much of a bone shaking ride, what do I look for? Do I need to upgrade springs
and sway bars as well as shocks? How much should I pay? Is it better to get a
Saab tech to do the job over a suspension specialist?
Finally, the sway bar bushes on the car are groaning. Apparently it is not
doing any harm, but it is very annoying. Makes the car sound neglected! Any
recommendations here?
Thanks is advance for your help
