Is that on 850 non-turbo models-in relation to a Boge or Bilstein setup, the choice for a nice ride is Bilstein TC and new springs, but on turbo models, especially the R or T-5R models, the setup is unclear.

We know that the ride on the R is stiff--given that a race model is stiff too, and these two cars were a public version of that model. The question is, has anyone who owns an R or T5-R model replaced the springs and struts with Bilstein TC springs and struts, or Boge struts and oem springs, and how is the ride compared to the original set up.

Just curious.
