Thanks for all the info everybody! I just measured ride height and it was 23 inches even (no metric on the tape I used) i think that is about 584mm which is obviously way to low, almost an inch and a half. Seeing that this is the case I think I will replace the springs as that would be a lot of shim and what if the springs keep sagging. So this leaves the question, which shocks are best, Koni's Bilsteins or Genuine Saab? Taking price out of the equation which ones do you guys recommend? I figure this is the only time I will have to replace them so I would rather spend a little extra money to get the best performance. I have not had to spend a lot on this car in the 5 years I have had it so I don't mind spending a couple of hundred more if it means better handling. Thoughts?
