Bilstein shocks

I just had my rear shocks replaced with a pair of Bilstein Sports and I wanted to post what a difference this makes in the handling of the car! It breeds so much more confidence because you can feel the weight and balance of the car more.
Caveat: Yes! You will feel the stiffness of these in the car over fast bumps or uneven road, but for me it's not a problem (yet). If you are looking to replace the rear shocks and want to improve handling...this is well worth it. I have a SAS swaybar to tighten the steering as well and I'd say that the Bilstein's are more noticeable in everyday driving.
Putting them on though only makes me want to explore what else I can do with the handling! Maybe a subframe brace? I am a bit torn between just the brace and the 6 point 'spider web' thing that genuinesaab has on their site. My car is a convertible and I imagine that this would help firm up some of the roll (although the car may shake it's bolts apart)
