About time to replace struts? shocks? 850 1997

If you can turn your struts from the top, that's really bad....buy the Bilstien Touring (TC) from www.shox.com By far the cheapest I've seen and really nice on my ride...will be on yours too...tight but not too harsh (and cheaper than the OEM stut/shocks). Even though not on their site, call them and ask them to send you spring seats (why you can turn the tops) as well as strut mounts and shock mounts too. last of all, replace your sway bar end-links with some heavy duty ones...you can get these at www.ipdusa.com Once again, call them as the HD's aren't listed but they're only a couple bucks more than the ones they do list. Also, a guy by the name of Slater over on volvospeed sells his own design sway bar end-links that every one is swearing by, but don't know what he charges. I'm well pleased with my ride after doing all of the above and my '98 S70 drives like a brand new car!
