Be aware 4matic aftermarket struts can be difficult to find. Be 100% sure it’s specifically for 4matic as a number of online resellers are mixing part numbers I found when I replaced my front struts.
i ended up going Genuine MB. Wasn’t a whole lot more than Bilstein (that at the time last year were 3+ months backordered everywhere).
brand new MB springs are only $50/each so may be worth refreshing everything if you want to. That’s what I did.
why are you picking standard suspension if you want it firm? That makes no sense. That will do the opposite.

Current E350 4Matic models (2014-2016) comes with two suspension options: Luxury package & Sport Package
I test drove both and like the drive and feel of Luxury Package better than the Sport Package.
I am hoping going with 'Standard shocks' would give me somewhat same feel and control as in 'Luxury Package' option in newer models. Let me know if my understanding is not correct.
Does the sport suspension has a stiffer spring compared to the luxury package? If you put a sport spring and a standard shock absorber together, will that be an issue?
The Bilstein shocks are not that expensive and relatively easy to swap out. I am positive that whatever you choose (sport or standard shock) will be better than the current worn out shocks.
