Not really to be honest, only changed as one was leaking, I did think she wandered a little bit in the bypass on the way back but that might have been due to a crosswind and only having driven the Volvo for four weeks…
She does sit better but as expected when the air isn’t rushing out through the left front maybe absorbs bumps slightly better.. but if yours are still good then I wouldn’t be changing them I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Congrats on the MOT pass always good news!
Just reading about the struts... not sure if you changed yours in the end?
I had all four original struts / bags on mine until Jan 2022, then all four were replaced. I hadn't noticed the car behaving any differently over the years but it must've been me just getting used to the gradual decrease in handling. The new struts made the car ride so much better! A lot less roll through corners in particular, and felt more stable all round.
