My 850 is all stock. I need to do struts and shocks, so I'm wondering about a couple of things:

1. Are Bilstein HD's too rough? I have 15" tires, standard springs and sway bars. I'm not a soft ride guy, but we do have a few rough roads in my area. I don't want to build a track car, just a reasonably firm ride would be nice.

2. Are the premium grades of struts worth the money? Or should I just go NAPA?

3. Has anyone changed the body mount mount bushings on their car, will it make a difference after 250,000 km on the originals?

4. I'm going to do the whole front end, so any upgrade suggestions would be welcome (sway bar bushings maybe?)

I've used the search button, there are some users who were unhappy with Bilstein, are the the minority?

I'm in Canada, I don't have a lot of strut options, basically just Bilstein, KONI, NAPA, or factory (through the dealer $$). I also have to pay shipping, I really don't want to have to return anything, like a defective strut.
