First, I'd suggest that every NG900/9-3 needs a set of adjustable Koni's. However, I've found an odd phenomenon with my NG900: It actually handles better the faster I push it. Quite honestly, my Japanese cars take the cake for nimble everyday driving. However, when I've had the need to push my Saab up beyond the normal limits it has been *very* comfortable going way too fast. That's the opposite of what happens in my Japanese cars. Bob
