go with the cheapest which are the OEMs, ride will be less jarring than the more expensive units. I just did my wife's 96 850T, and the base unit from fcpgroton are just fine, save your money on a 14 yr old car. Be sure to buy all the ancilliary parts, and bolts/nuts etc. that go with a proper strut replacement. FCP can help if your aren't sure. The whole shabang ran me about $400 in parts using the basic shock, then head off to someone you trust for a front end align. Oh, and by the way, I would be remiss as a safety engineer, if I didn't warn you to be sure you know how to use the spring compressor...
