New shocks/struts all around...night and day difference! 900 1991

I just finished putting new Boge Turbo cartridges up front. I learned the hard way that the Nivo conversion kit from FCP on the rear of a 91 945SE doesn't work properly (it does on sedans, though.) I put new Nivos on the back, and now this car is nearly as good as the day it left the dock in Jacksonville FL in 1991. If your brick's shocks and struts have heavy mileage (mine had 153k), then I highly suggest replacement. The difference is night and day. Call on FCPGroton...best prices, best service, period. And if you live near Bham and want help replacing yours, drop me an email. I've got replacement down to a science. The left front took an hour, the right front took half that once I knew what to do. I went through 3 different types of springs on the rear end during my adventure, so I can do the rear springs and shocks in 15 min flat each wheel. How did I get along without air tools before now?
