then replace the shocks only with some adjustable Konis(I run these and am very pleased) or Bilsteins. Viggen springs are pretty much as tight as you will get without lowering the car further. Despite everyone here saying that the Aeros(9-5) are already too low, I lowered mine another 35mm and my only complaint is that the front isn't 10mm-15mm lower! IMHO, while the Viggen is lower than the base model, it's in the same position - almost there but not quite. Eibach supplies a great spring with a nominal 30mm drop on base cars, so the Viggen would probably only drop around 20mm at most. I run H&R springs, which drop lower but are more expensive. A matter of taste really I guess. If you do upgrade the turbo you pretty much need to consider a host of other upgrades, i.e. forged pistons, injectors, fuel pressure regulator, etc., not to mention the initial hardware upgrades of downpipe/exhaust/intake pipe and possible intercooler upgrade before you change the software to take advantage of all this. The possibilities are endless depending on how deep your pockets are. I may be preaching to the choir, but some food for thought anyway. Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress. Congrats and welcome to SAAB my friend! Cheers.
