Yeah, I agree it is a matter of preference.

Seems like the 850 rides rough regardless of the which struts/shocks are used.

What I'd like to get rid of is the floating/wallowing that I feel (i.e. while going over dips in the road).

Maybe OEM is the way to go- mine with 70K miles on them perhaps have lost their damping capabilities.

I personally prefer a firm - but not "nutt" jarring ride.

Anyone have the Koni adjustables on the front and koni or bilsteins in the back?
