Koni Kit
Hi,
bought yellow koni sport kit for my 95.
http://www.partsforsaabs.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_189_208&products_id=1255
received it from PFS but this is what i found:
![]()
Same for rear dampers.
The springs looked used
![]()
after contacting PFS paul and alex told me that i would get a new one free or charge, i only had to ship everything back.
so 6 weeks later i received them....
The shocks and springs look fine, no damage.
But now im wondering if i am missing 1 metal ring. because i only have 3...
Also where can i find the manual how to install them. I have no clue where all those white plastic parts are going.....
I checked http://photo.platonoff.com/Auto/20070929.Saab_9-5_Front_Suspension/
and its seems rather ok, but platonoff is not using any koni´s...
so if anybody can tell me where those 3 rings are going and all those white plastics i would be a happy person....

the front swap is easy i can send you some pics of my install on my 9-5 i did the full koni kit with vogtland springs as well its much easyer than it looks. and on the bump stops i think it would all depend on condition i re-used mine but they only had 40k on them and looked like new so i guess it would be more of personal preference. 
good luck
and the white plastic peices slide down the strut

Well it would be great if you could give me some pics where those plastics are going.
Can you see from the picture i attached those yellow bump stops? First i was thinking that they were packing matterial and almost placed them in the trashbin.. i see that the original bumpstops are longer and a lot softer,
But im still wondering hy is there no manual with this kit?
Br jasper
so it should be like this?

If these shocks are adjustable how can you do that?

isnt it so that you adjust them from the top?

Yes the Koni front strut setup sucks on the Saab 9-5...I recommend going more towards the stiff side on the ajustments...I went right in the middle and it is too soft in my opinion...but now I have to take them off to adjust the ride...it sucks
yip i can confirm....Yes the Koni front strut setup sucks on the Saab 9-5...I recommend going more towards the stiff side on the ajustments...I went right in the middle and it is too soft in my opinion...but now I have to take them off to adjust the ride...it sucks
its still very soft, i can push the car up and down...
so if i knew this 2hs ago i would be more happy, well something to do, but not today anymore
