In these photos http://www.saab99turbo.com/registry_detail.php?id=291 my 2-door 99 still had '88 up SPG 15" wheels however I've added 16" Super Aero's since then with 205-50-16 tires and no rubbing issues! Right now it has the (too stiff) SPG springs so it's not a low as it will be when I go with my favorite Intrax springs! Hopefully it will end up looking like the 99 that's somewhere in Europe in the other photo in the above link. I haven't ever been able to find an Airflow kit for it like the one in the Euro photo but I have a brand new 1984 Classic 900 Airflow kit that I can cut to fit as I'll probably never find a 99 one! I actually like the early C-900 kit better and it even already has a twin tip exhaust outlet provision that fits my 3" SS exhaust systems ( http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/members/gallery.html?memberID=425&do=show&id=15660 ). When I get the Intrax springs installed I'll post the results and add new photos. At the same time I'm switching to the mid year 9000 16" wheels that I feel look better on a 99 or C-900!
