Strut and shock replacement
I have been looking to replace my front struts due to a leaking front strut at 74K. My questions are if there are different struts for the cabriolet than the coupe? Can anyone point me to the best place to purchase them? I have found prices ranging from $78-200+ for what appears to be the same item. I am looking for OEM replacement for my 07 550 cabriolet.

The part number for the 550 cabriolet is 2093201130

On RMEuropean.com, it's $208 for the OE and $115 for the Bilstein.

I made the mistake of putting Bilsteins on my previous CLK320. Too harsh for this old guy.

Coupe and Convertible use different struts. I would stick with Mercedes struts - should be $187. - 200. on line. Good luck.
