LOL... I thought the same thing back in Aug of 2010 when I was lowering my 2010 E63. I figured Monroe gave them an offer they couldnt refuse in regards to mass production. And my E63 2010 was not a PP car. So Monroe is doing the normal AMG shocks and must be revalving the PP shocks.Originally Posted by vdubpower

I haven't had the chance to be under the car but I'm now afraid to look. If it is Monroe for the P30, I'm sure for the non-P30, it ain't gonna be things like Bilstein, KYB, Koni, or Tokico. It might even be stamped "Midas-made in PRC."
