The worst DIY project I ever had was the installation of a factory sport suspension in a 97 9000CS. The passenger side lower shock bolt rusted to the shock bushing sleeve and it took hours to get it out. That bolt passes through the axle, shock and sway bar mount and there was no room to work, and using flame near the gas take was not fun. I don't recall if my C900 was designed the same way. Start way ahead of time soaking everything in PB Blaster. Maybe even source new bolts in case you have to cut them. And use Permatex anti-sieze so the next Saaber doesn't have a problem with rust.
