1998 e320 4matic Wagon

I need help. My car needs 2 front shock absorbers. Top pin Bottom fork. Because of the pandemic there is a serious supply problem, Bilstein Germany are saying they are having problems sourcing the raw materials and have a big backlog. October at the very earliest. My question is this, are there any other makers that fit the 4matic. TIA

FCP Euro carries the correct Bilstein (no other shock will fit) shock for your car. Here:

Loden338. Thank you for your insight. I am sorry, i should have mentioned that i am in southeast Europe. It would cost a small fortune to get them from this supplier, if they even have any. This cost for one is very high. Bilstein UK are selling them (when they have) for $306 a pair, for some things there in the U.S. you guys are being royally ripped off. Thank you for trying to help though, its muchly appreciated. Edit. I am sorry, i just looked at FCP euro again and saw that this is indeed for a pair, humble pie swiftly eaten
