+1 if mine goes out, I will go coilover conversion for handling and peace of mind in the future.

Annoyingly, my front pass. side failed w/o warning while sitting in traffic on July 4th...

Anyway, I replaced both front units with Arnott and could not be happier with the price/result. Anyone who goes to the dealer for AirMatic issues is either under warranty or an idiot.

UPDATE** Got the car back today from the dealer had the struts installed, new cooling, oil change for a whopping $280 bucks lol but anyways the struts are amazing they feel very nice and more stiffer now.. steering wheels feels kind of like an M car maybe its just me but over all am extremely pleased with them and honestly for the price you can never beat it period. Am glad i did both sides now i am worry free and have LIFE time warranty for as long as the damm car lives i guess... Arnott customer service was great very helpful and i even managed to get two discounts on them which helped out all together... thanks and if anyone's struts go, well you know were to go and you wont be disappointed at all.
cheers am back on the road

Intresting is that an AMG Arnott replacement or a standard arnott replacement?

The ones I got use like a truck style airbag that goes from above the rubber bulge at the top to the bottom of the stainless bit on the struts you have pictured.

Arnott must of changed their mind on how do do these or something?

Another intresting thing is one new one is installed in the front right and the factory i assume might have 140,000mile strut is in the left and i cant notice the difference.

I agree i just find it intresting why they might of changed back to the factory airbag style instead of the truck style... to me the truck style ones "look" more robust.
