When I replaced the original struts on my 2K base at 130K my goal was to maintain the original, surprisingly compliant ride while firming up the damping. I spent the extra $ for the Bilstein HDs and I figured they would last my 9-3 until the end of its days. Gawd, what a mistake. They are way too firm - they completely overpower the springs and the ride down a secondary road is brutal. Bilstein could not have put any thought into matching these struts to a 9-3. I've even considered taking the considerable $ loss and tossing them. I put Koni FSD's on my 9-5 Aero and it now actually rides much better than my 9-3.
