Subject: Re: Montreal resident thinking of dropping '99 9-3


I live in Ottawa, and have been debating installing lowering springs on my 9-5. I'm looking for a sportier ride. The lower center of gravity would certainly help ( improve the appearance as well) however, I'm afraid that in addition to lost ground clearance, the car might bounce/skitter on pot hole plagued roads. I've decided to work in stages. I've installed heavier roll bars and Bilsteins on the back ( the front Bilsteins have been ordered). In our area, I doubt that Koni's would remain adjustable for long. I'll be replacing the 16" wheels with 17" wheels, and at that point, decide whether or not to upgrade the springs as well. I'm not sure if this helps.
