Strut/Shock replacement
Need some opinion on anyone who have replace their strut/shock on their E350 Sport package. I was shopping around for new set of shock since I am overdue I have exactly 101k miles on the odo. What I am trying to decide which would be better a Bilstien or the Sach since I was looking at FCPEuro and trying to decide which would be good, I am trying to retain the original ride but not sure if Bilstein would be best since I know their reputation is good when it comes to sport tune ride but my concern is, are they harsh when it comes to driving some bad patches of road and some minor potholes or they can handle it?

Depends on your budget. Many on here have gotten the Bilstein which is what I got from Rockauto. The Sachs are OEM so if you're sure you want original ride, you can't go wrong with Sachs. The Bilstein seem fine. Got them for about $250 for the set on rockauto shipped. The Sachs would have been closer to $400. Also got new springs so they do seem like new overall.

it's a RWD, and budget is not an issue but I want to see which is gonna be more beneficial with the Bilstien over the Sach. They are equally good products but anyone have input are welcome. I haven't even tackle the job yet since the cover and been very busy at work than ever LOL.
