To Fit: Saab 9-3 1998 to 2002


I dont know 100% as ive never tried it but, I doubt very very much that they would,

Also, the cars being different weights, lengths and widths would mean the spring rates would be off...

Im intrigued though, why would you buy saab springs for a vectra?

vectrahed

well i was told buy the seller that they will fit so i took a gamble!

and i know other parts from a sabb fit the vectra



cheers for your reply though

The might physically fit no bothers,but i would be very surprised if the are suitable.As was said there are so many factors to take into account such as weight etc.

Also how much are the springs designed to lower the car by ? more than likely the are designed to work with a matched 'sportier' saab shock and not a standard 1.6 vectra shock,the result here is that with a shorter spring and standard shock your shock never gets a chance to work effectively thus the car is using the springs to absorb bumps and your ride will be come very floaty and unsure.

so i guess no one knows for sure then!
