Good quality at lowest price - replace with Saab OEM or Sachs brand, the same thing.
Best performance but at a premium price - replace with Bilsteins or Konis.
Rear shocks are typically at end of life at 100K miles, front struts can last 200K miles.
Moog makes a stiffer and greaseable front sway bar link for about the same cost as the Saab or Febi/Bilstein part. These links fail as often as the rear shocks for many owners.
eEuroparts and Genuinesaab are two on-line sources for parts. My Saab Indy has supplied the Sachs/Saab brands for me. I know he checks the Dealer and the local Import Car Parts place for best prices.
