hi people I have had a Saab 9-5 se estate 2.3, i have had this car for about 2 months I’m very pleased, the only problem is the high amount of body roll, it would not be so bad if I didn’t have leather seat but it’s a little too much, I have been looking around the forums and it seems it’s not just me with this problem.
Would upgrading my suspension springs solve this problem????? Cannot afford to do a full suspension upgrade at the mo, but I have been looking to just change the springs there are a couple on the market and I cannot decide what ones to choose what ones would you recommend???
Are the lesjofors any good (comfy ride)? I'm scared of them because of how cheap they are and previous experience with other cars. Cheap has a tendency to be harsh and bouncy.

Yeah I was looking into those too but i am also not too sure about them. My friend just bought some Megans for his 04 9-3 and they felt very good when i drove the car, he only paid about 150 for them and I was very pleased with the ride the thing is I couldnt find them for the 9-5 so who know maybe someone bought them or tested them out.
well i dont want to get anything thats going to tare the *** out of my car, i have had it before with wheel bearings and cv joints going due too lowered car, round london we have speed humps galoor

Lol I gotcha I wouldnt lower it either and If i were you I would take chris's advice the Eibach are nice. That is actually the first on my list to get in the next couple weeks.
im getting a little lost too many options, anti roll bar or shocks and springs, i know in a ideal world both would be best, but i would have to choose one of them suspenion or anti roll bar????
i have seen this saab holding kit, would this be the same as whats on a aero???
That kit is essentially 2001 Aero suspension. I put it on my '01 LPT and I'm happy with the end results. But I needed some additional tweaking - custom spring spacers to get back to decent rear ride height, shims to get back to decent rear camber due to lowering, better rear shocks to replace the @#$@#%!! ones that come with the kit. Do some searches for "sport chassis" and you will see lots of discussion.
thanks for the help i found a good thread that help be understand whats good and whats not.... http://www.saabcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105545&highlight=sport+chassisi think this sports holding kit is not for me, sounds like not much of a change for my 9-5 rubber dingy, i think i will go for the stuffer harder drive and go for Eibach Pro-Kit Springs but if i put them on my stock shocks do you think they will be ok???? then maybe later i will get some better shocks

Personally, I would do it all at once if you can. The ride will be really harsh and bouncy on the stock shocks due to the spring being severely under-dampened. I would almost be inclined to say, if you had to, to do sport shocks first. Anyone else agree?
well i could buy the lot but i was thinking of saving some money for my ecu upgrade to stage 1, but i thought it would be better to do my suspenion before i increase the power.... does ayone know where to pick up cheap parts in th UK
Seems like a good deal! Being a sport kit, be prepared for a lower, stiffer ride (obviously). Shouldn't be too harsh though if they are being sold as a unit.
Without trying to open the "I hate koni" debate..........
I wouldnt put koni's on a 9-5 personally .
