Basically speaking, as struts get older they get softer and less able to dampen the rebound of the springs over bumps and such. The result is a rough or bouncy ride. In certain extreme situations this can cause steering problems or even loss of control of the vehicle. However, I have only heard of one case ever that this has happened.
I would say that if you are happy with the way the car rides then leave it alone; if you think it doesn't ride as well as it did before then you might want to consider replacing them.
P.S. : I have the stock struts and springs off my 2001 9-3 (removed at 70K miles). I think they will fit your model. If you would like them e-mail me and i'll send them to you for the price of shipping.
