1999 e320 4matic wagon front shocks

Has anyone replaced their front shocks... I got a quote on shocks and I am told that because of the rear self leveling that I have to buy the sachs and they are over $500 a piece. My question is, if the fronts are not self leveling why would I need a different shock than the regular 4matic front shocks which can be had for about $140 a each? Puzzled!

thanks

...Thought so, If you goog the part # w0133-1597485 this is what they told me I need. They are not self leveling fron shocks, but very expensive. The rears are fine.

Autohaus has a fantastic price on those front 4-matic shocks. Even I can't get a deal like they have on those.
