You can definitely get a lot of life out of a Viggen clutch. I installed one in my stage 4 1997 900 nearly 100,000 miles ago, and it's still in great shape. I had to replace the transmission and considered replacing the clutch at the same time, but the clutch was hardly worn.
Factory Viggen springs are definitely rare, but the original Sachs shocks and strut inserts are readily available. RockAuto sells all of the sport versions for prices that aren't completely outrageous. Abbott Racing springs keep the car at about the same height in the front, but lower the back so it's even with the front. Stock Viggen springs make the back end look pretty jacked up in comparison. The only problem is that despite their claim that their springs "are superb in all respects and cannot be bettered", the rears on mine sagged after 15 years or so. I replaced them with factory Viggen springs bought from a friend who put Eibach springs on his Viggen. If I was a normal person who replaced their car at any kind of regular interval, I probably wouldn't have ever noticed the sagging, though. :)
My 900 is still on its original flex pipe at 170,000 miles and 23 years. If you live in an area that doesn't salt their roads, exhaust systems can last nearly forever.
