You will actually get a smooth ride from Bilstein HDs. New shocks handle the pavement imperfections much better than stock.

Get new rubber spring seats for an XC90, they fit and last longer than the 850 seats.

Get new nuts/bolts from a dealer, more expensive but the ones from FCP don't look like they will last - lots of torque on these bolts.

Also get new rear shock seats.

Use PBBlaster on all nuts that you are going to remove.

The ABS sensor on the front struts: If it is plastic, the center has a plastic push pin which needs to be pushed out before removing. Don't loose the pin or break the plastic.
