My car has been plagued the past 2-3 years with vibrations (feel in seat and steering wheel) and shimmeying between 55-80. My nice (Stage 3, etc) Saab felt like shite on the highway... I bit the bullet and bought some new Ronal R41's (166.00 each) and got rid of the Viking's. The Vikings look great but are just too soft and bend easily. I also purchased some new Michelin Exalto PE2's ([205/50Z16] 150.00 each).

I looked around and found a tire/suspension guy in Hudson, MA (J&K tire) that has a brand new Hunter 9700 wheel balancer/vibration control and a Hunter 811 4 wheel alignment machine. $450.00 dollars later (Tie rod ends were frozen and needed to be replaced] and I'm in *HEAVEN*!! My car (98 900 SE Turbo 77K) is *rock* solid again! Over the winter, I've put the GS steering rack brace, 6 point subframe, and 22 mm RSB on it. I always knew how fast I was going by the vibrations. NO MORE!!!

At last satisfied...
