I wouldn't necessarily think that the Aero suspension option is the way to go. My (now my brother's) 9-3SCV with standard suspension handles so much better than my 9-5 Aero, that I have to think that tires and suspension design count for a whole lot more out on the street than short, stiff springs. As for the choice of shocks, the infamous Joel Kaufman (PhD) was a firm believer (no pun intended) in Konis over OE Saab shocks and struts (i.e., Sachs), while my Florida Indie likes Bilstein.
I would look for something (other than KYB) that has different part numbers for Aero and standard suspension. Otherwise, you run the risk of having just a generic Opel shock that happens to fit.
