There's a whole debate around getting rid of the anti-roll bar altogether and setting up the camber, castor, etc in a different way ... But I won't pretend to understand any of that :) If SAAB decided that an anti-roll bar was a "good thing" for my model, then I'll go with that. >> I've got very used to a hard ride (or rather shockerless ride), so any >> new shockers will feel blissful.

I've done the pricing up for the job and reckon that if I go for a Sachs at each corner and a PU kit for the shocks and the anti-roll bar, I still have enough money for lowering springs for the front; 25mm should do it ... 40mm sounds quite extreme, even for 15" wheels. That should drop my front enough to make the gap between the wheel and the arch the same as the back. .. Oh, and fitting ... And the MOT ... By the end of the month, my Orca should be smooth again :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
