congrads on the car, I also have a 2000 5dr silver/orange viggen

I purchased mine 2 Octobers ago & I have driven it 23K miles now, presently 64K on the car. My first upgrade was the MP perf clamp/brace/lower stress bar. I attended 1 drivers school with the car stock then a few months later went back with this kit installed & it drastically improves steering feel. Still not the best feel however much better then it was from the factor. On the long sweepers the wheel doesn't bounce around any more :) Unfortunantly I still do feel the chassis flexing & I am considering the upper stress bar that genuinesaab sells then someday the brace for the hatch area.

I then added genuinesaab's rear sway bar. This reduced bodyroll enough that I wouldn't get wheelsping out of some of the turns that I previously did.

I also plan on adding a set of koni's & I am not sure if I want to try the koni springs, I am worried about the car being to stiff & feel just the koni's could be the best compromise.

What tires are on your car? Simply getting something sticky with a strong sidewall will greatly reduce tramlining & also greatly reduce/eliminate wheelspin. I use 235 toyo t1s's on my viggen in the summer & as long as it's above 50 or so degrees wheelsping isn't a issue onlike the POS yokohama ES 100's the prev owner had on the car. I would start here with your wheelspin issues
