Did you pose the question to MBUSA?
or check with your local MB parts dealer
If you go directly to the parts counter provide your VIN, they will look up in the database for it, and tell you the cost.

They don't really exist. Reason is that there's at least 3 different types of springs. Usually when they make quick struts, it's only one set of springs that fit all cars. Probably different if it's the sport version vs luxury and 4matic vs rwd. I've seen them on eBay, but they're some no name brand made in China that I wouldn't trust. For front struts, either Sachs or Bilstein, I think you're stuck with oem MB springs. There's usually a color code on the springs that tell you what type of spring to buy or look it up in EPC. I'm going to have to do mine soon and I'd just like to know what type of spring compressor to use. I always used quick struts in the past so never had to get a spring compressor. There's one for the W210 but haven't really seen one recommended for the W211.
