Here is a link for factory rear suspension (air and conventional). Keep in mind @tjts1 advice as well.

Get factory E320/E350 sport coil springs and replacement aftermarket shocks. Both strut master and Arnot rear spring conversion kits are badly compromised because they reuse the airbag spring rear lower control arm instead of converting to a proper coil spring lower control arm. This results in a much shorter rear springs with less travel. The Sachs front coil spring replacement shocks are height adjustable right out of the box.

Take both cars' VIN number, plug them into an online MB retailer and look for those parts. Compare parts number, voila!!

Correct. Springs, shocks, and rear control arms - assuming both are the same layout (rwd vs awd)
