Hi guys,

Really need some help here.

INFO:

• I have purchased Arnotts coil spring conversion kit for my car.
• I have a WAGON 2003 E320 Avantgarde with Sports Chassis Supension.
• I have automatic rear self-leveling suspension, so it is not airmatic, but principal is the same.

The kit includes only the springs, then it is finished.
Here is the kit: LINK
BUT, my rear shock absorbers are leaking so I need to replace them.

Shock absorber OE nr: 2113263600

QUESTIONS:

1. Can I replace the shocks with these: Sachs 312 382 ?
   The OE number is cross checked and it fits according to that, but I am very worried that the shocks wont fit my car since I have the air suspension in the back.
   It seems that the OE part number above is the same for vehicles without air suspension as well.
   
2. Have any of you guys converted a car with self-leveling in the rear, and changed the shocks? If so, which shocks did you get?

 

Never seen self-leveling like you mention.. How it works? I assume that it is so the rear doesn't bounce much.
