IDK really.... we dont know what AMG and MBZ did with Monroe in regards to rates and expectations. All I know is my PP suspension is very good.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).

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."
