Not worth the price.

As a result of my tests, I determined that these shocks did not improve my ride quality as promised by the manufacturer. The installation also proved to be a hassle, resulting in a waste of time and money.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Poor performance and difficult installation.

Good cheaper alternative Bilstein

Used them on the 900's and 99's. They provide extra cornering stability and pair well with the stock anti-roll bars. Note that this applies to the classic 900, not the 'restyled Opel' 1994 and later. They are close to Konis (which I have on my 90's SPG) and Bilstein (which my friend has) but much cheaper than both.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Secret

Quality product if used improperly

These shock absorbers are very, very good, very high quality. However, they are not intended for use on the Saab 900 Turbo. Front or back. First, they must be installed in the manufacturers specified upside-down position, and the damper bodies are a full inch and a half longer than the front (I know they are rear braces) and a good inch longer than the rear braces of the car. 2 stars because it would be a 5 star product if I could install them. The price is right, the quality is right, but the…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • No insurance
