Hi all, I have to replace the front coil springs on my '99 9-3. I am considering replacing the strut inserts as well, and here's the question: Can I pair up Bilstein HD (heavy duty) strut inserts with standard OEM (white, white) coil springs? Or do I have to go with the standard OEM struts as well? Looking at the Bilstein HD struts, they look way more sturdy than the standard Saab stuff. http://www.thesaabsite.com/20050213e.New_vs_old.jpg If anyone has any experience with this or other pairings of springs/strut inserts for a 9-3, I would really appreciate their thoughts. Cheers, Ben
