Need Strut replacement, don’t know which struts my car needs

I have a 2008 C300 and am in need of new struts. I plan on having a friend replace them while I am out of town next week but am finding it difficult to find out which strut product is correct for my car. I was asked whether my car has the electrical struts. I’m not great with cars, and am learning as I go. Can someone help me identify what strut product I need or how to identify what the correct strut is? I can provide any information about my car that you need. Thanks in advance

Where are you from? USA? If so, it's just regular gas filled struts. Not electrical for 2008 C300.

You might consider upgrading to Koni FSDs ... a little more money, around $850 from Tire Rack, but they give a great ride improvement with little or no handling change. I put them on a later C350 and the improvement was wonderful.

I've been looking at the FSDs They are now $675 @ Tire Rack. Great deal. Closeout price.
