Recommendation for lowering springs NG900

[mario3210go]

Greetings...i need some help.
I just buy already tuned Saab 900II, but there are 'the' things that i want to make it better. As a car is lowered as you see on a pic, really dont know how much that can be...35, or 30, or 40 maybe its really on the floor. Its looks nice, but the springs(Red) are old and rusty, shock absorbers are old and original think so, and on car inspection there was a problem - when car is lifted, there is too much space between spring and absorber.

So my first step is springs, my idea is, if this are 35mm or 40 to put -30mm on it, the car is too much stiff for a everyday ride, ok bodyroll but its not that i ride on racetrack everyday. I want a sport-i feel not track feel. I saw some Saabs using Bilstein suspension on forum, so i was thinking to go in that direction...Koni or Bilstein?

Any advice will be helpful: Bow:: Bow:

Hi,

Probably the springs on your car has been cut off making them to short when car is lifted.

For everyday use with a sporty feel I think Bilstein B6 in combo with a kit of lowering springs 30 or 35mm is most common.

If one should want to, it may be possible to use Bilstein B8 along with shortened springs since they have a shorter piston than B6.
