Shocks V70-XC70 2001

Have the T5 with 242,000kms. Front end is creaking so I'm thinking about replacing the spring seats, struts and shocks. I'm have always used Koni in the past but this time leaning towards the HD Bilstiens as we might be getting trailer. Anyone have any experience or advice.

Thanks

    Check the rear shocks before doing anything. The Nivomats were an option, and those are very expensive to replace, but they last a long time.
    Using Koni Sports on the front is a no brainer :) Get front spring seats for an XC90. They are the same size and last much longer.
