    2001 9-5 SE Wagon performance shocks?

    Hello all,

    I have a 2001 9-5 SE wagon (okay, not a Saab engine but great car anyways). However, it's a little cushy on the ride. Any ideas on firming it up? Performance shocks, springs, etc? Thanks.

    How many miles are on your car? Perhaps shocks and springs just have worn out over the years and replacement with stock parts could make a nice improvement. Especially the springs on the wagon wear over time and make the rear end sag.

    Right now only 56K miles. Could tie-rods be an issue?
