Suspension

Thanks again for a great service to Saab owners. I learn a lot each day!
I would appreciate some help with some suspension queries:

1. I am changing the shocks on my 1990 900 EMS (148,000kms). Does anyone
know what brand were OEM in that year (11/1990)? I am probably going to go
Boge or Sachs. Bilstein seem too firm, even though I like a firm ride.
Are Boge and Sachs OK?

2. Is it worth changing the springs too? I am pretty sure the Aus spec EMS
does not have Aero/SPG springs. I am thinking of using German Eibach
springs. Bit shorter too.

3. My suspension bushes (I think on sway bar) are noisy. Every time I go
over a speedbump slowly or off a kerb, you can hear a 'groan'. My Saab
tech has in the past sprayed silicone on them and until it rains, this
solves the problem. I am looking for a better fix, but hopefully without
having to change the bushes. What if they were loosened and grease put
inside, and then they were tightened up again?

In anticipation, thanks very much for your help.

Cheers

Simon Creek
