Enjoy it stock...welcome... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] (#81) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mike Lynch) on Mon, 12 May 2008 10:06:18 In Reply to: First time saab owner, Taylor, Sun, 11 May 2008 16:03:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
If you wanna' faster Saab, buy a Viggen or an Aero. Money spent on modifications is mostly wasted IMHO. Enjoy it stock for awhile and then some. Drink in all that Swedish engineering. It's already got 55 series low profile tires, 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS, 4 wheel independent suspension and 205 turbo horses outa' 2.0 liters.
Meanwhile if you must tinker head on over to the Performance BB. Modern engine management systems and smog laws preclude much modification of the engine and it's already 205 hp. Be careful about lowering, a 9-3SE already has a pretty stiff ride and lowering it can make it just plain rough. I do like the look of a 9-3SE with 17" rims, but do avoid "fat" tires and stay with the stock recommended sizes. The car already has front and rear spoilers.
