Why non MB?? The MB's work just fine and last for a reasonable length of time.

stick with OEM. Look for an independent MB mechanic or shop, they will often have the same genuine MB part for 20-30% less than the dealer.

By going after market you will only save pennies and they will not perform as well or last as long as the OEM.

Darvin at Duval Motorcars (an MBUSA dealer) in Gainesville, FL will discount all genuine MB parts by about 20% off MSRP. This as opposed to many dealers using Matrix Pricing; i.e. MSRP + as much as 100%. His email is:

darvin.fletcher@duvalmotorcars.com

Tell him I referred you. I'm a firm believer that all vendors perform better when they know that we're talking about them.
