A New Front Strut Question

Front airbag went out on my 2015 550 today. Thankfully i've done this repair on my wife's and know what to expect. As I was trying to decide between remanufactured Arnott and new bilstein's, I came across this:

Does anyone know rebuildmastertech? Any references out there at all????

I know I know, prices seem too good to be true.

From my experience, I would not recommend you go with them.

figured that was the case. I'll go with arnott this time. and the savings vs bilstein are enough that it just makes sense to go with that for me.

RMT is the worst. I doubt they even have Mercedes to test their products on

I went with bilsteins. Are you unscrewing the the axel nut a bit I order to get strut in place? I had some difficulty with that. I was just curious.
