My 850 turbo rides pretty well. Only 60k on it, but wondering what will restore the original ride. Shocks, struts, ? Whats the difference, how much if this is the right thing to do?

Thanks in Advance!

Check out IPD's catalogue. They sell a variety of springs and struts and explain what the difference is between them.

Uhm, see here is a bit of confusion I fear. Why do you need to "restore" the ride quality? Are you saying parts of the suspension finally need to be replaced? If so look at what set up you have. If you have a mcphersion or w/e usually you need to replace all as one. Typically cars, specially with FWD, tend to follow this style. So shocks is kind of out of the question. the spring on car is what gives it ride height and the "bounce" of a car, the strut/shock restricts how many times it bounces up and down from a bump. Usually it's one and a half. Speciffically what are you trying to do and why? and what is the suspension on the car?
