In a Week it's my birthday. So I decided to give myself some nice presents. Orderded the Speedparts strutbrace along with a H&R lowering kit. And Some Poly pieces for the front sway bar. I already have an Aero front sway bar waiting to be mounted. The rear is one from an Aero and in poly already. Hopefully I can fit everything in About 3 weeks.

Is there anyone here who uses H&R on a 9k. Read Somewhere that Jason Might be but couldn't find anything to ensure this.
So made my desicion on Experiences of 9-3 drivers. And the fact that I have driven along in one fitted with H&R springs.

I'm very interested to know what the ride's like with your H&R springs. What shock absorbers do you have?

 

[grentarc]

im interested in the H&R + Koni combo... want to hear good things before buying a set

I'm now rolling on A year old original Saab sport chassis. So I'm only changing the springs. The shocka bsorbers are from Sachs

I have only dealt with H&R springs on 9-3s as well. Somehow, I think you may know them from my car!

Have fun!

No, I was still running Venturi springs (from the Bilstein sprintline kit) when I totalled my 9K. I was considering changing to H&R's or Nordic/Eibach springs in the future to improve the ride.

Now where did you get that Idea? With You living across the world.

Yesterday the parts finaly arrived. So this Saturday I'm going to fit them. Instead of stripping my 900. (see 900 classic forum)

 

[injectie]

The parts are on. Except for the strutbrace. It wouldn't fit Apperently it's not suitable for N/A cars.The oil filler cap didn't get cleared. Anyone else ever encountered this problem?

 

[injectie]

So today i've had a nice test drive. What a difference the H&R springs make.
Before lowering

After lowering

Now Only for the strutbrace. Can anyone send me pictures of theirs fitted? I can't seem to find it. (Excpt for dead links)

 

[grentarc]

Here you go.. if you want more, just ask and I will upload more

Thanks.

After a lot of fiddeling and modifying the oil filler pipe. Mine is also on.

Edit: After comparing the two pics. I can only say wha a difference in the Engine bay. No wonder mine wouldn't fit at first.
