I replaced the front struts and rear shocks with the Bilstein HD and like the improvement in control. The ride was stiff (some call it harsh) before and the Bilsteins don't soften it any, but they do maintain precise damping control over any road surface I have encountered. As Punxatawney Phil noted in his response, I like the firm ride, so much so that I did it on both my 94 850 wagon and my 95 850 sedan. By the way, I also replaced the sring seats, strut mounts and sway bar links at the same time.

Good luck.
