S70R struts and shocks S70

Hi all

Just bought a 1998 S70R Auto with just 45,000 miles (72K Km) , Metallic Light red exterior, Grey alcantara interior.
I am a happy man!!!

This car has a factory sport suspension and rides lower than my previous S70 Gl.
The problem is that the previous owner installed a set of "soft MONROE front struts and rear shocks for a more comfortable ride. BIG MISTAKE, the car feels bland and unstable at high speed and front suspension makes a loud clunk as you encounter any road bump.

Having a factory lowered suspension, the shocks should be shorter and have less travel than regular S70 shocks?
Any recomendations in front and rear shocks? Bilstein? what type?
850R share the same suspension with this S70R?

Please help, Thanks
