I thought bilstein was easier to source than koni? At first I thought you might mean bilstein touring, which afaik are not available for the 9-5, but those are B4. B6 is HD. B8 is Sport. iirc, eeuro carries bilstein. not sure if it was b6 or b8. I think maybe HD (b6). B4 are "oem". I put them on the rear of a c900. Fine, but I wish I had done konis. Some find bilstein hd/sport a little stiff/harsh (maybe more so than koni even), but I don't think that would hurt the 9-5 much to be honest. Then again, I am used to c900 which can really ride rough in comparison.
If you are in Canada, there is a place that sells Bilstein and Eibach for the 9-5. Essex distributors. That's where I got my tourings. Price was decent and shipping ok too. See link below - if it works, it's for a 2004 Aero, and shows HD and Sport. Shipping is free (at least within Canada).
