I'd want to replace those if it were my car as the cracking at the edges indicates deep rooted structural corrosion.
Cons: deep rooted structural corrosion

The car started to misfire at boost so I swapped plugs to NGK PFR6H-10 and everything is good now.
Don't use Bosch sparksticks.
Pros: everything is good now
Cons: car started to misfire
Vehicle:
Saab
Part number: PFR6H-10
Slotted and drilled are nice, I own 3 9-3 Aeros v6 and is very hard do stop them, Akebono brakes and Slotted/drilled rotors are cost/effective for me. I definitely recommend it.
Pros: cost effective

I noticed a massive difference switching from 0w-30 to Mobil 1 FS 5w-40 in my NG 93. Engine sounded better, burned WAY less oil, and no noticeable fuel economy or power difference. I also used Ceratec a few times and that made it feel smoother.
Pros: engine sounded better, less oil burned

First oil change after filling with T-6 on my 2002 Saab 9-3 (that didn't have a kit on it) I bought with 130k miles on it was really black, almost a bit sludgy. Next few oil changes quickly got better as the detergent broke down sludge in the top end and cleaned the motor up.
Pros: detergent broke down sludge
Cons: oil was sludgy
Vehicle:
Saab
Mileage: 130000 km
Ran quieter on 5-40 heavy duty diesel Mobil 1
Felt more powerful, but that may have been a perception from quieter and smoother power. Others on Saabnet reported the same.
Pros: quieter, smoother power
Vehicle:
Saab 900
I've been running Denso Iridium on 7 Saabs for years.. both 9.3 V6 and 9.5 2.3l... never an issue on any after 100s of thousand of miles.
Pros: no issues, long lasting
Vehicle:
Saab
Liqui Moly is the one that has some sort of scientific backing for it; During WW2 it was found that adding Molybdenum to oil significantly reduced engine damage in aircraft engines that had experienced oil loss in combat situations but been landed safely. I am currently trialling it in my 27y/o Saab and can report a reduction in engine noise and slightly smoother revving.
Pros: reduction in engine noise, smoother revving
Cons: makes oil look dirty
Vehicle:
Saab
Typical issues (my car had all of these save the throttle body): -Dampers are normally done by 80k miles -Front lower control arm bushings tear and fail
Cons: bushings tear and fail

Mileage: 80000 km
In my experience they're pretty bad. I had to replace my stock headlights '03 9-3(because all the clips that held the low beams where broken off) I went from barley being able to see at night to still not really being able to see at night. Another problem was the TYCs were missing a piece at the bottom so there was a pretty big panel gap between the bumper and light. The one good thing about them was the headlights themselves looked great.
Edit: As a broke HS student I put weather stripping between the panel gap, and that made it look pretty good. This was 6 years ago they might have improved, but I kinda doubt it
Pros: headlights looked great
Cons: poor visibility, panel gap, missing piece
