Suspension: - 850 T5 What front shocks/dampers?

cyclogenesis · Apr 22nd, 2013, 13:06

It has come time to replace those front suspension mounts as mine are getting noisy. As I am going to have the struts apart I will be replacing the dampers as well. My question is, what dampers should the 850 T5 (1997) have? It looks like I have a choice of Bilstein B4 or B6 or Sachs or PFS Aftermarket.

Bearing in mind that this is a T5 hence the neew to have a firmer damper (I think)and I do not want the new dampers to be in anyway considered a 'modification' i.e. I want it stock. What is the appropriate shock/damper to use?

Thanks in advance

When I replaced all the shocks on my s70 20v I used here http://www.micksgarage.com , just put in your reg and it will show the standard shocks for your car and upgraded ones.
