Shocks!!!!!!!!!

I have C-200 elegance 1995 i noticed a little oil leak on the top of the shocks mostly the front shocks, and the car is a little bit noisy and tough on small bumbs and stones that found on the street, so i think i'll change front and rear, it's better they told me. BUT i will not go to MB Dealer, Toooo much expensive, so can you help me find the right ones and the right size for my car, cause i don't know much about shocks like sizes and makers [/FONT]


thanx for ur help

What you want are Bilstein HD's. You can order them online for the cheapest (that I've seen) at eshocks.com. Just go there and go through the vehicle selection process and it will give you part #'s and everything.

My bad (possibly) on the link, arslanm3. I just re-read your post and realized that you aren't in the U.S. (the C 200 model designation clued me in). eshocks may not ship internationally. However, I'm more than sure you can find a good supplier of Bilstein shocks where you live overseas. You can get anything for Mercedes easier if you're not in the U.S., apparently. However, I am gonna back fromanl278 up in this one and suggest that you get springs while you're at it. Get some H&R's accompanied with some Bilstein Sports or some Koni's. This will make the ride firmer (which you may not want), but the handling will improve 10X over stock.
