I bought my 1995 SETC this past February with 80k miles and original shocks and struts. The car is extremely clean, having been well taken care of by previous owner(s). (Saab dealer service records intact for the life of the car.) However, I decided after a month or two of driving, that both shocks and struts needed replacement.
The original parts were worn so bad that after removal, I could hold them at arm's length in front of me, and push/pull them through a full stroke. I'm amazed that other posts to this board claim that original equipment will last the life of the car. Mine certainly did not.
I did the project in two steps, shocks first, and then about a couple of weeks later, the struts, using KYBs for both. The difference is astounding... ride and handling are better, and all rattles have been silenced.
My recommendation, go for the replacement.
