Thank you for even one more awesome video, my friend.... ;) I also recomend you to replace the sway bar bushinds that hold the sway bar to the body frames.

I'm seriously thinking about installing Bilstein shock absorbers on my CR-V. Not sure if I'll go with B4s or B6s yet but I'm definitely leaning towards one of those 2 options.

B6 is more like for sporty driving with a stiffer suspension. B4 is more like for more softer daily drive use. I did also go for the B4 on my og900 convertible cruicer....

I fixed my in front, will fix the back later but mine is not as nice as yours, its heavily rusted everywhere. I will very likely need to weld some more when i change them in back. Pretty easy in front, used lowering springs with helps with the "wandering"(more safe and easy to get in place too). I did it at the same time as i welded the link arm fastenings that was gone, even the rust had fell off. Have some videos that might help if you get stuck or just ask if you want to do the springs too. They are tricky to get in and dangerous with the widow make...i mean spring compressors.

@@AutoAutopsy Consider lowering it a bit with springs it makes a big difference. But for now you got to enjoy the new shock shock absorbers. I installed those on my old volvo 740 they are excellent. That car is in great shape, as rust free as your Saab and got good paint too. Keep up the good work!

The blue dampers were from Sachs. They are the standard dampers in the 900. Unfortunately, the B4 dampers tend to rattle very quickly, which is why hardly anyone (at least here in Germany) still installs these dampers. That's why I switched directly to the B6. Otherwise, the Koni dampers could be an alternative for more comfort. I'm curious to see how satisfied you are with the new setup!

Hello I have a question so I installed my cold air intake about a week and a half ago and everything has been going smooth but then when I was driving uphill my vehicle through a P0171 System too lean, bank 1 is that because of The cold air intake or because I installed everything right

looking good with the new suspension. my 900 has one strange suspension issiue aswell. maybe someone has a hint on what it could be! so i have noticed that my rear wheels seem to be out of place, the driver side wheel looks more out of the fender then on the right side. i looked at the dampers and measured how low the car sits (i have never done anything with the suspension). well it seems that the car has red Koni dampers, also the front sits 35cm low, aswell as the back but the driver side wheel sits 34cm low. but i cant imagine that this is the reason. i am kinda worried, that my suspension might gets damaged or that the previous owner did something with the suspension. i also wonder about the panhard rod. if the car sits to low, that it needs to be adjusted, but i dont know if thats true or not
@TheBTG88
@TheBTG88 5 ай бұрын
Could be that a previous owner changed the suspension from stock and as a result the panhard rod was misaligned. I’ve changed the suspension and wheel size on my ‘91 SPG and installed an adjustable rear panhard rod to center the rear axle.

@@TheBTG88well what i have seen so far is that the 35cm suspension seems to be the more sportier version. i already tried to find an adjustable panhard rod but the offers here in germany are zero, or are there universal rods that you can buy somewhere? i know that MCS offers an adjustable Rod but thats out of stock at the moment. so do you have any alternatives?
