Were they already turbocharged in those days?

Some yes....

Those generally were sleepers of note... they took the understated looks to the extreme and the thing would absolutely humiliate other vehicles.

Ah cool, that's why I ask.
Back on the lowering topic now before someone throws an Eibach coilover at us.

Although back on topic, that's why I always enjoyed Saab. Haven't seen a riced up one ever in real life.
 
Any here tried cutting their springs? Apparently that's the best way to lower a car. I did it on my civic and now it handles like its on rails.

That is the WORST thing to do to a good car...
 
The car is not the only thing that dropped to the floor. My girlfriends panties also dropped when she saw it.
 
Again lowering a car is easy but not cheap if done properly.
Springs and shocks need to be changed together. The shock stroke needs to match the springs. So only putting in lower springs will effect the oem shocks as it will have a shorter stroke as the shocks are effectively to long for the springs.

So coil over are your best bet. They have a few advantages that the nay say'ers wont understand.

The coil and spring are matched and work together for a better ride.
The ride height is fully adjustable. so from OEM ride height, or higher or very low you can adjust the height to what suits your style or environment.
You can set hardness of the shocks, so from oem to little stiffer to rock hard.
You can set the shocks rebound and movement to improve handling.

go coil over shocks. beat oem any day.
 
I think everyone has missed the cheapest and easiest option.
Get 2 really curvy aunties (the kind that have curves on their curves) to sit in the back.

**** Instant lowering of car ****

Why do people keep on saying this? It's utter bullshyte!

Lowered suspension or lack of suspension is for track racing, they don't drive on normal roads cause it's shyte! There is no way you can make, what took engineers 1000s of hours to perfect, and make it better for the conditions it was designed for. Stop talking shyte :D

Probably as imaginary as the imaginary improvement in handling.

Or she is of equally questionable taste.
