This is my first post but I'm a veteran poster on various SAAB forums and I host my own SAAB enthusiasts website (just add dotcodotuk to my user name). Road spring failures are -thankfully- pretty rare on SAABs and in my opinion, you are more likely to find SAABs with soggy dampers after big mileages than snapped coil springs. The NG900 (93-97) & 9-3 (98-02) did sustain the odd broken spring but most snapped right at the top of the coil and only came to light at MOT or service time. I have a fair bit of contact with the motor trade and I think there is an increased tendency for springs to fail but especially where the cars are driven anywhere where there is a lot of speed ramps.
