Getting the Swede some Stance...

[IronJoe]

From a show a few weeks ago. Fronts are dialed down, rears had a half inch of adjustment left. Opinions and ideas welcomed!

Wow just fond this, awesome work on the 900, its nice to see one done right.

I've got a 08 9-3 Sportcombi 2.0T. Only had a few weeks but I love it.

Here's what I ended up with for "driving" height. Using the Afco lightweight jack screw & jack cup modified to fit inside the Saab mounting location. I can't take credit for that design. Pop the hood, grab a 19mm and dial it down.

The rears you have to jack up to adjust. Using the Afco 5" diameter adjustable spring spacer with the "cup" cut off. It has about 2.5" of adjustability.







And the rears on full low:

all that work and you have have that HORRIBLE gap on the driver door?

this car is so awesome but I know I can't fully appreciate it. I wish I could understand all the rare parts for this car but I simply know nothing about it even tho I drive a swede

Forgot to update this thread.


Getting a little better now - on 18x8 forged Rays wheels. I eventually sourced the missing center caps.




Redoing the engine management right now, should make more power. Getting on the rollers again Sept 1st!

Definitely man. The vert has been 2nd priority since I've been spending so much time on the M3.

My plan is to finish the M3 and show it for the rest of the season, then this fall/winter build up the Saab for 2012. I am planning quite a few new things.

But for now....

Yo IronJoe! I need you to do something sweet so I can have more inspiration :P Ive finished constructing coils but I havent been able to put them in yet. If the shock mount can handle the weight of the car then this will become a great option for adjustable suspension for the c900, but Im thinkin if we really wanna go low were gonna have to stick with the spring/shock setup and raise the upper spring tower, which if I can find a friend who can weld is my next step..

You need some Rotiform BRU

That'd be great... I'm looking probably at the Work Euroline N for my next setup. But the Saab has been put on the "back burner" a bit due to my new project:








So far it has 16x8 BBS Style 5s ET23mm with 3mm spacers. H&R Race cut 1 coil front, Bilstein sports all round. Doing 15mm drop hats next and that's as low as I'm going.
