Just placed the order and was told that I should have them next week...
Quick question though, I am going to swap the strut bearings for sure. Do I really need to replace the strut mounts as well? Any thoughts as to why or why not? The car has 125K on the clock and there is a knock at the front end.
No on the springs I'm afraid. The biggest reason is that I don't want to lower the car while the smaller reason that I would rather save the money now and rebuild the suspention with Powerflex poly bushings in a couple of months.
The HD's may be a bit overdamped for your stock springs. The Aero springs aren't all that much lower. I do highly recommend getting a used set... I got mine for about $60 shipped and taxed, so I can see no real reason NOT to.
I hate to reply to an old thread but I intend to do the same. I have a 2003 LPT Linear Sportwagon and want to put Bilstein HD's with Aero springs on the car. I can't seem to find a source for the parts. Were you able to find them if so where if you don't mind me asking.

The HD's won't really be enough shock for lowered springs like the B&G's or Eibachs. I tried HD's and Eibachs for a while, it wasn't good. You'll need Sports and while the ride isn't rock hard, it is about as firm as comfortable can be. Great on the higway, but at low speeds on rough roads it will knock you around a bit.
Look around, you might be able to get used aero springs on the boards or on ebay. I sold my HD's and aero springs to someone on here.
Are you trying to buy some, or just check the numbers on springs that you've got? Genuinesaab ought to be able to help with that, they sell the sport chassis kit which is essentially 2001 Aero suspension.
Looking to buy some. Getting them from gs will cost a bomb for postage alone! Plus only want the springs as I want to get the Bilstein HD's
