I don't have the Viggen Rescue kit, but everyone I know who's installed it raves about it - particularly in terms of reducing torque steer. I would highly rec a set of adjustable Konis. You should probably do the springs while you do the shocks. I've ridden on Abbotts and found them a bit stiff for my liking. Swedish Dynamics are also known for being a bit stiff. Eibachs are on the softer side, but a the 'verts already flex quite a bit so that's as far as I'd go. I think Nordic uses the (progressive) Eibachs in their kits. For an exhaust, I like the Saab Sport, there are others available. Abbott gets a lot of press for their ECU. Folks who install it like it. But, no one is doing side by side comparisons that I've seen. Nordic seems to pull a few more HP and pay attention to the upper end. You might want to ask for torque/HP curves from these folks and compare. Bob
