2004 9-5 Arc Wagon
Just over 100,000kms, garage suggested I replace shocks/struts. No problems, I know its a bit premature, but I maintain the car to a high standard. They quoted on some Monroe replacements. The OEM had different ones I think for base, arc and aero (not sure if arc and aero are the same?). Anything wrong with Monroe, I think the OEM are Boge (my vin data on this is CW DS H H 5 B F)?
If I wanted to convert to aero, or aftermarket bilstein or some such sport shocks and springs, is there much to the swap? Are my Arc shocks already the sport shocks, but just lighter springs, same sway bars? The Arc has the aero brakes, I am not sure the differences.
