I just put Bilstein touring on today on my 84 244, well, it's 110 out and I don't have shade in my driveway so the shop did the install, and I've put 30 to 40 miles on them - no noticeable rattle, very nice ride, and good handling (in my extremely limited experience). I would not consider the ride firm, but then again, I'm coming from 4-wheel-drive vehicles, so anything would be smooth.

My 86 245, which I picked up yesterday, has a similar ride - maybe a little softer - and I have no idea of the age/condition of the suspension on that (am taking it to same shop to inspect it in the a.m.).

I will keep an ear out for rattling and pay closer attention to things since the Touring's seem to have a checkered history.
