Viggen suspension upgrade

Just an FYI for anyone interested. Got the swedish dynamic springs, front konis (more on this latter), and Abbott rear swaybar put on this weekend (the car already has a VRK). The car is fantastic with the changes (except for having the stock shocks still on the rear since the koni dealer forgot to include the rear bushings - Koni is sending me a set for free). The car stays very flat cornering and is much faster. A corner at 35 mph that I used to get a lot of tire squealing (both outers) from gave me only a minor squeal from the outside front and allowed a much tighter line. I think that the swedish dynamic springs are a vast improvement over the stock ones. They do make the ride harsher - not a problem for me but my Dad does not like the way the car rides on bad roads - too firm. The Abbott swaybar makes the car almost neutral at highway speeds (minor understeer). I will be autocrossing the car this weekend to see how much faster the car is with the mods. My conclusion is that these mods seem to be the best for a car that is autocrossed and taken to track days but is still used as a daily driver and touring car. Thanks.
