Just don't do it. How can the Bilsteins be more expensive at $77 apiece in the rear and $150 apiece in the front? You ALWAYS get what you pay for and your suspension (or brakes) isn't the area to compromise. Why you ask?
Costs for the KYB installation:
$280 - Shop service to install the KYB's - ~4hrs at $70/hr
$80 - Alignment
wait 6 months
$280 - Shop service to install 2nd set of KYB's - $4hrs at $70
$80 - Alignment
You see where I'm going with this? Bilsteins will easily outlast any Saab on the road today.
KYB's are in fact horrible. ANYTHING would be better, but why not just get a quality unit from Boge if price is such a concern? Monroe? Are you kidding?!
