They are slightly lower (20mm f/10mm r) and will not affect the ride too terribly much. They used to be available in the Saab Roadholding Kit, but that is no longer available so you will have to buy them individually. Other alternatives are available... Jamex and Intrax both make sport springs for classic 900s. Both will drop the car quite a bit - I think well over an inch. You will probably want to replace your shocks at the same time to avoid any handling problems that might result from stiffer, lower springs. Had I the choice, I would probably choose Intrax over Jamex. SAS (http://www.sasab.com) sells Jamex (red coils) springs SPG9 (http://www..spg9.com) sells Intrax (purple coils) springs Good luck, -Justin
