Anyone ever done this?

Mercedes wants to hit me up for $2800 to replace my rear hydraulic struts. Then I would imagine that I will get to fix the pump and hoses next. This conversion set seems to good to be true.........................

I saw in the W220 thread that some other people are doing this with good results. My S420 came with normal spring/shocks and its ride was great so I think I will be doing this.
