Cheap aftermarket airmatic struts.
Out of curiosity has anyone experimented with cheap aftermarket OEM replacement front struts for a pre facelift W212. I am not looking for any lowering struts or stance mods, I am talking about the cheap stuff from China.
I would have them refurbished but sadly I bought the car crashed and the front struts are bent. I asked around local refurbishers but they keep their secrets as to what brands of aftermarket parts they use since pretty much all of them offer refurbishing kits and the entire struts.
If push comes to shove I will buy a new one from Arnott since I have heard good things about their struts.

Incredibly cheap actually, sadly I'm not in the US and shipping + tax will kill it as an option. Cool to see though since refurbishing them locally (south east Europe) gets them to about 1200 USD depending on how gone they are and the official aftermarket replacements are about 1600-1700 USD a piece.
