I too regretted the Bilsteins / SAS combo at first.
So I yanked the Bilsteins & bought the Taliaferro SportChassis kit with Aero (Sachs)shocks & springs -felt good, handled fine.
Then I switched tires to Michelin Primacy MXV4, and everything felt so comfy (toooo comfy) that after a while I started thinkin' maybe let's try the Bilsteins again!
That turned out to be my favorite setup: Bilsteins, SAS, SportChassis springs and Primacy tires. Handled great - firm but not too firm.
Then sadly the engine broke a rod or bearing (horrible noises) and my 9k's sitting behind my mechanics' gathering dust and I'm getting a 2000 9-5 Aero.
And the Sachs shocks are languishing in my garage - do they fit 9-5s?
