Now that I've had my Oldsmobile 215 aluminum V8 powered 245 on the road for a while I've decided I'm not completely happy with the ride-handling. It feels too mushy. The rear shocks look new (the lower cost KYB). I have a couple of pairs of the blue and yellow rear Bilsteins which I had installed on the now retired 1980 245. I will install them on the '93 when I change out the stock rear sway bar for an IPD rear bar. I have already installed an IPD front bar. The front struts seem to work OK (no continuous bouncing when pushed down and the car recovers nicely going over dips and bumps). With 197k on the broken odometer I don't know what's inside the strut. Could have been replaced--or maybe not. My understanding is that the later 240's have smaller diameter strut tubes that will not accept inserts made for earlier 240 models. I'd like to install performance oriented struts inserts but every listing I see shows the same part number for '93 as for much earlier models. My question -- Is there a strut listing anywhere that is really designed for the later 240's? Thanks for any recommendations or suggestions, Dave
