Just wondered if anyone out there has recently purchased Bilstein's "Touring Class" front struts for their 850? ALL OEM carparts is having a pretty nice
sale the whole month of October ($78.99 a piece) and I wanted to know if
this basic strut should be O.K. for my 850 GLT. In other words, will the ride
be similar to the OEM strut which I think is BOGE?

Thanks!

Helped a friend replace all four w/ TC's on his '97 850T wagon w/ 50K. The ride is substantially better than stock. Much better damping and a bit softer than the HD's. My friend is very happy with the ride since we have crappy roads here.

Note: I replaced his rear springs w/ heavy duty springs from FCPGroton.com because of the Nivomat setup. The rep told me that they were the same as iPd's overload springs.
