I can’t leave well enough alone.

No matter how hard I try, which, lets be honest, isn’t very hard, I cannot stop from modifing everything I own. I bought my Saab with the specific intention of having a year-round daily driver, but I’m already out trolling around looking at upgrades for suspension, wheels, and powertrain.

I found a nice set of coilovers for the car by Megan Racing, I think I will take this route. When I had my Saturn I had the Eibach Pro Kit on there, but I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the ride height. Coilovers will allow me to go lower and also have adjustability so I can get the exact height I am looking for. For the Saab, I’m thinking 2″ lower than stock.

I’m also looking around for a nice set of wheels. The nicest ones I have found are by a company called Hirsch Performance, who is a Saab tuning company. The wheels are 19″ and are made by the original designers of the 9-3 SS. Unfortunately, they are not available in North Americia and 19″ is a little too big for me, I was thinking 18″ max. These are some serious wheels though! We will see.

I think though, since the winter is coming, there is no reason for me to be going and putting coilovers on the car to dump it and buying 18″ (or 19″) wheels that I won’t run on it in the winter, so I’m going to hold off and think about my plans until next season. In the meantime I have my eyes on a set of e-code bumper strips which don’t have the side marker lights in them and a storage tray to replace the ashtray which will never get used in my car. They’re quick, cheap mods that will hopefully hold me over until I can get in to the real stuff
