"Definitive" Linear to Aero Conversion
Since I haven't found a complete list, I decided to compile what I believe is everything to fully convert your Linear to an Aero. If there is anything I'm missing please add on to the list, and if anyone knows where I can get those damned beige sport seats please message me.
- Aero Dash: Search for these on eBay you're guaranteed to find one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-SAAB-9...ry!03053!US!-1
- Sport Steering Wheel: PN#5201033 these are pretty common on ebay
- Door Sills: Black: Driver side 5430947, Passenger 5430954 Beige: Driver 5430962 Passenger 5430970
- Bolstered Sport Seats: The black ones are plentiful on eBay, but if you're in the same situation like me with a beige interior, good luck. Comb through eBay, junkyards, craiglist and just maybe you'll find these rare Beige Sport Seats.
- TD04-15T Turbo: PN#55559825 eeuroparts for new: https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/102...TD04-55559825/ or find a used one from craiglist or eBay.
- Aero Conversion Kit (ECU): eeuroparts https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/523...ade-101K10077/ this is necessary for the car to efficently use the turbo. Or you might be able to get your Linear ECU reprogrammed, but there's some additional hardware you get with the kit.
- Exhaust Lip: PN#5143110 https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/148...-Pipe-5143110/ this is without the paintable design.
- Exhaust: PN#32019367 https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/131...Rear-32019367/
- Front Rotors 308mm: PN#5391560 https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/169...8mm-430148820/
- Front Brake Caliper Mounting Bracket/Carrier: Both rear and front calipers and pads are the same from linear to aero, but the mounting brackets are different, due to the different sizes: https://www.maptunparts.com/brake-sy...0-9-3-9-5.html
- Rear Rotors 300mm: PN#5232756 https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/526...300mm-5232756/
- Rear Brake Caliper Mounting Bracket/Carrier: I can't find these, you'll need to look through ebay, junkyard, craiglist or buy the Aero spec calipers which is $$$
- Suspension: I've heard good things about the hirsch suspension which is the route I'm probably going to go. For plain Aero spec, you'll have to go hunting or theres front strut kit on eeuroparts https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/734...ion-101K10187/
- Aero Lettering: PN#4833356 https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/594...-Aero-4833356/
- You'll need new tires for the 17 inch wheels
- Wheels 17: https://www.eeuroparts.com/Parts/151...U-39-32026149/
- or PN#400133377
