Aftermarket Strut and Shock options

So at 105K miles i've noticed that the factory shocks have started leaking in the rear. Besides going with OEM/Sachs i was wondering what other options there were and also what everyone else was wondering.

I know aftermarket coilovers are also an option but i like the current ride height and ride quality and dont want to mess with all the adjustments.

Thanks!

I'm sure Penske could make you a set.

I think the afternarkets shock for the c350 should fit. I have seen post that the bilstein coilover fit the c63. The h&r coilover seem identical for c series and c63.

Have Fortune Auto/Muller/Broadway static build you a set that can mimic OE comfort. Mine are actually quite comfortable at 9k,11k spring rates.
