Do they even make Bilsten HD's for w202 anymore?
I was just about to purchase some Bilstein HD shocks for my w202 c230k from Tirerack.com. Right before I clicked purchase I made sure to check the part # the site provided which is: 24-018562 (front) and 24-018579 (rear)
I entered the part # into bilstein USA's website and it turns out that it's the part # for the Touring shocks (B4 setting) instead of the HD (B6 setting). Then I went to every other american online suspension vendor and discovered the same thing! It would say (HD) but the part # would be for the touring shocks.
What gives??

Mb touring vs HD
Had the same question with my G500. Listed HDs don't fit them. What to do? Call the manufacturer.
Bilsteinusa said the damping curve of the touring is almost identical to the HD. The touring also has the lifetime warranty.
Might want to call bilsteinusa and see if this is the case for your ride.
