Abbott raced saabs for quite a few years and I have to give them credit for the good design of the kit. The problem is $825 for the full "rescue kit" is too much money. I blame it on greedy high prices and the terrible exhange rate. MP brace is just as good and is much more reasonable. From what I understand, their front lower brace doesn't sit as low as the abbot bar. If true, it would make theirs better than the abbot bar. The only component of the abbot kit you can't get elsewhere is the steel spherical bushing that replaces the rubber at the rearmost body mounting point. My plan? I'll buy the brace, bar, and poly bushings from MP. Then buy the spherical bushing separately from abbott, if I still have an extra $250+. I've read the eibach pro spring/shock kit fits viggens. I'm happy with stock ride though. 235/40-17 tires are nice.
