Replacement Shocks..... Boge VS Bilstein S70

Hello All

I have 117,000 miles on my 98 S70 and my Front and Rear shocks/struts have started to show oil seepage. This is something I would expect with a car with so many miles.

Regarless, the ride is not bad or harsh as yet so I thought I would find out what my fellow Volvo owners suggest as a good replacement brand for shocks.

I spoke with the guys at IPD and they recommend the Bilstein Touring Class shocks and struts.

Has anyone installed those in their S70? If so do they feel better or worse than the boge oem? I had an 850 and hated the ride on rough roads, contrarily the ride on my S70 is awesome! So i dont want to fall into the same trap of having a bad ride because I went to aftermarket shocks that made the ride too harsh!!

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
