> genuine saab has been great for me. You should have gone with the 25.5mm bar. Thats what I got and couldnt be happier. I got the Koni springs and the rsb, and the 2pt subframe brace, and besides the struts being shot the car isnt too bad. Now I just need softwear, but Ill get that this spring 😃

I thought about it, but I don’t really push this car much at all, plus an even stiffer sway bar would have made the rear of the car that much more bouncy over the uneven shitty city streets I commute on every day. I’m trying to mix a few mild performance parts with maintaining it for reliability so that it doesnt become more of a money pit than Saabs aready are.

I might get the 6pt subframe brace, and maybe the saab sport exhaust, but that would probably be all I’ll do to this car. I’m looking to get something else soon anyway, so I dont want to get anything too hardcore that would 1)be a waste of money since I plan on selling sooner than later, or 2)reduce appeal to the average resale customer.
