850R jitters... 850 1997

Hi Everyone!

I have an 1997 850R wagon (855R) with 69K miles. The ride is OK, but there is considerable vibration when driving, especially at (or above) freeway speeds. I'm going to replace my Race-Concepts rotors with OEM soon, due to the fact that since day one they have cause pronouced additional vibration throughout the body. The rotors also seem the be warped again, only after 3K miles of light commuting. All this leads me to my question:

SHOCKS

When should I replace the shocks/struts, as they are still the originals? What should I expect once they are replace, in terms of ride quality? Finally, what brand and model do you recommend?

Vibration continues to meander through the walls of this beautiful ride. New tires, alignment, road-force variance balancing have all proved mixed results. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Anton
