struts
I've got about 160,000 Kms on a '99 SW1.
The handling was never great, but now it's getting worse. What make of strut would you recommend for a car that's basically driven back and forth to work? I do like the odd corner, but I've never had much luck pushing (pulling?) a front driver around, so I guess ride and control are what I'm after. thanks

Re: struts
Either Springtech or KYB. KYB has a better rate in the front. Springtech has a better rate in the rear. The opposite sides of each are questionable, well, the rear of the KYB is the same as stock. Springtech is questionable in the front. Guy named Low Saturn over at www.saturnfans.com likes the springtech better, but all of his and his brothers rides were lowered. Maybe someone here has the springtech struts with a stock setup and could comment. Plan on getting springs? (You should).
