Upgraded suspension - LOVE IT

I finally took the plunge and spent the money to upgrade the suspension on my 1999 9-5 with 63K miles because I was starting to think I was driving a Buick. I had ordered an Eibach kit from a local shop, but the eibachs were back ordered for 4 months so I went with Aero springs and Bilstein sports. HUGE difference...the car has gone from a sporty luxury car to a performance sedan...I wish I had done this 20K miles ago. The ride is harder, but not harsh, and the car corners so much flatter (note: I live in Southern California). The car feels so much more precise and stable at all speeds. I feel like I am driving a totally different car and am having a blast (though I better contain myself in order to avoid tickets). On my favorite twisty highway my "fun speed" has increased by 10-15mph and I have had to recalibrate my sense of speed on the highway (I kept finding myself going 5-8 mph faster than I thought I was going). All in the cost was about $1,100 because I replaced bushings and front strut bearings as part of the process.
