The tables should in theory be usable to go between camber and ride height and vise versa on any 9-5 using one of those wheel sizes. In practice, it seems to me that may not be valid, even on a brand new car. There is a substantial sagging of the ride height under load on all the 9-5s I see driving around. The sag makes the tables off even more than they might otherwise be if the cars maintained ride height. The result seems to be all the problems from tire wear to suspension failures reported on the BB, to which Saab and the dealers shrug their shoulders.
I wonder if anyone has aligned the car fully loaded to see where that puts on when the load is taken off. It may not be possible to safely put enough shims in the rear to make that happen. What specs did you have your car set to and how has it worked so far?
