Expensive shocks!!
Alright everyone I’m new and I’ve joined mbworld for a better answer. So I’ve had my 2012 C350 for about a year and noticed the passenger strut went bad. Well it turns out it’s the “EAS” “dynamic handling” struts. My question is can I removed all that and replace them with regular shocks? I did notice that when I unplugged the shocks that “sport” mode stayed on!! Each shock is around 1k. For that price I rather buy a coil over kit.

Now the OP knows that they are made by Monroe he should be able to chase down a supplier in the US, assuming you are correct re. his location. You can get C350 CGI in Europe too :-))

2011 C300 Sport, 6M, Dynamic Handling Pack
Any word on getting them in the USA? I have the dynamic handling package and hopefully I won't need these anytime soon...
Also do you know the part number/availability for the upper strut mount?? I heard this is also different for the dynamic handling pack?
