Need replacement shocks for 300E

So I'm looking for struts for a 91 300E, but the few places I've looked, like partsbin, are asking me if it's "-A 873916" or "A 873916-". Whats the difference, and how can I tell which one's mine? also, what's recommended as cheap, but decent, replacements? Im thinking bilsteins comforts will probably be my best bet...unless theres something of the same quality but cheaper.... tahnks for any help

260E , 1989 (for now)
The number they gave you are related to your car serial number.
ie: Before serial number 873917 or
after serian number 873917
Mercedes must have made a change exactly at that serial number.
