Join the LAV Research chat channel.
It is full(ish) of guys dedicated to LAV driving. I myself am an Ex-member of LAV Research.
During 1.7 I ran the Saga II and dedicated my time to making it comparable to the Methana, which is kind of the LAV everyone in LAV Research used. Double Hardener was fun, but the fit you mentioned was my go to fit. The thing just dominates with a Particle Accelerator.
It is nice seeing more people use these things, and I must admit every now and then I miss my old Char with my LAV stuff, and it is definitely something I will skill back into on of these days.

I started writing my previous reply when this topic was first up but didn't actually get around to finishing it until an hour later, and it appears in the time I was gone a Saga II vs Methana argument occurred.
To input my .02 isk, the Methana is far better.
I was a dedicated Saga II rider, and probably used it more than a lot of people in LAV Research, and it just can't compare to the survivability of the Methana.
I was frequently losing isk most games to to rail tanks getting a shot off with before I could activate my Hardener. At that point it is a matter of luck to see if I can dodge the second hit. If I couldn't, then well, that's it.
So in the end, the Methana is better in every aspect, minus its ability to Road-Kill.

@ Foundation
My shields could be easily disrupted, another downside to the Saga II.
@ Sota Pop
Dude, the Methana has more health than the Saga II, and I know from experience that the Hardener means next to nothing on the Saga II because your shields are gone in the first hit from a militia rail, so the Methana actually has a better chance of surviving than the Saga II. And before you say that Shields resist rails, Foundation made a point earlier in the thread saying that the Rail damage bonus is reverse what it should be, and it does more damage to shields. I have been one shot in my Saga II before from a Breach Forge Gun, not to mention a Triple Damage Modded Rail shot.
