Hi Adam,
I'll give you some insight on the strut mounts. KYB are junk. They won't last long and they get loud. I have heard maybe 1 to 2 years on them. Some have used Scantech, with mixed results. Some of them have cracked. Who needs that? I as well as many others will keep on paying the premium for the Saab strut mount as it will last no problem 100,000 miles. On both of my Saabs I have replaced the strut mounts with Saab original parts. Also, make sure to replace the strut bearings. They are about 10 dollars a piece. Saab or Scantech are good for these. This way you won't get any creaks or odd noises from the front end. Also, the Bilsteins are stiff. I had them on a '96 900S. Very stiff. Some days you will really appreciate and others, you will ask, why did I buy these? I would buy them again but not here in New England. Good luck!
