You haven’t heard of H&R suspensions yet? It is a very successful German company that perfectly develops innovative chassis and suspension components, and which applies technology transfer from international motorsport to ordinary road cars in this domain. In addition to various other touring car, GT and Monoposto racing series, H&R is also involved in Formula 1.

H&R – Experience gained in international motorsport

In this domain in which they have extensive experience, huge demands are placed on the material used due to the extreme dynamic loads on the spring elements. Due to all the above, testing of new materials and production technologies is possible in a fast way. So they do not specialize in just one car brand, but they develop suspension elements for all car brands and models, and even custom-made ones.

That is why one of the many advantages of H&R is flexibility in development and production. If they do not have the product in the standard offer, then they will make special components for you in a short period of time, so that your Saab gets adequate sports suspension. This is the only way to optimally meet the diverse requirements in motorsport, in the development of prototypes and in the conception of customer-specific special solutions.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
