Have you gone with that mate?

There's a good indi in Ponti that i'd use over them.. I'd travel to York over using them in Leeds too.

Think EBC products had a shake up in 2010.. Was some bad reviews before then. New stuff is meant to be pretty good. IIRC police use yellowstuff in their T5's etc

Eibachs are certainly a good choice. Specially with the new price for the Hirsch springs!
#4
If you've broken a spring then it's a perfect oppertunity to get a set of Hirsch ones. They're excellent.

Been on about 5 days now. I took this when I got back from work today so it's not clean or anything. Apologies!

Happy with them, anyway. The ride appears to be slightly firmer! if anything. But at the same time it's more comfortable because of it. There's no wallowing/learching etc. The car just seems to have more control over it's wheels! It's sharpened everything up and is a lot more chuckable. Also looks a bit better! :-D

Very strange!

May keep a supply of fuses in the car - just incase!

I read over on UKSaabs something about an ECU reset that involved the removal of a fuse under the bonet. I'm not sure this is to just reset engine adaptions as it was done over there as a way of improved performance.

Interesting stuff, though. ~Will remember that.

Interesting stuff..

It would make it really useful if you explained how to do the basic ECU reset.

:D

^^^

#agree with that.. seems 58/09 all aeros, inc 2.0T got twin exhausts.

Earlier cars it was only the V6 - wish it stopped like that!

what MPG does the 2.8 V6 give for combined?

It will do 35mpg sat on cruise at 70mph...

I average 26/27 mpg.. that's with no town work. It's opened up quite often, too.

More than acceptable - but i don't even do 6k a yr.

I still reckon that one of the cheapest 9-3 variants to run (especially if you only do a low mileage) is the 2.8 V6 petrol as they seem to be incredibly reliable even with the extra money for the tax and insurance  ;D

sssshhhhhHHHHHHHH!! Don't tell everyone! ;)

#12
They don't list the 2.8 either :(

I've sourced them from THG Parts for slightly under list.
#13
I'm dubious as they don't make as many vairations as Hirsch.

Also, struggling to find a supllier. Where did you get yours?
#14
I've found them at PFS at well the wrong side of £300!

I'm sure I've heard of them being available for around £200?

If anyone can help me - much appreciated!

Love the 2 pipes on mine :)
