How do i lift my rear suspension back up? I know nothing, please help


Recommended Posts

Car: Saab 93 2008

Stereo weight issues in the rear so im trying to raise it back up at least a few inches.

This is not for cosmentics but rather for safety i suppose. What can i do and how much should i expect to spend?

And lastly i dont know how DIY this project would be but let me know if its easy.

I know all the terms such as coilovers, bags yada yada but i dont know which to do and what my car can even use? I need links and prices etc please.

Sorry, but I've never worked on a Saab, But I've been told that you can install Air-Bags on anything.

Best of luck bro.

I bought helper bags for my xB for use with my stock springs in the rear. I didn't like that it wasn't low enough so I took them out and threw my lowering springs back on but it sagged. I went and bought some coil spring boosters and they seem to be working pretty good. Pretty cheap. I got them from Autozone for around $20 for the pair (cheap in house brand). The donut style are better, they don't have the tendency to pop out on you like the others. Trust me, I bought those other ones and it last me not even a whole day as I went over some bumps and they popped out.

If you have no Autozone, Pep boys and Advance should have them too. Other than that, you can try coil overs or something.

I would say bags but I'm pretty sure you don't have the room anywhere for tanks, compressors and all the necessary components. Maybe some KSport or KW coils with them set at maximum height and really stiff in the rear for no sagging? That's what I've been considering to do when I throw my system in my car to compensate for the sagging since my stock suspension doesn't really like any extra weight lol

Those bags EXO used are the same ones I have and took out. I went on their page and saw nothing posted for Saab's. Your best bet is to call them and talk to them. I'm sure they can find one for you based off the coil inner dimensions seeing as each kit is used for multiple vehicles.
