Suspension Replacement

Hi,

I am new on this post and i have a pretty important question. My mother has an ML320 2002 model (Facelift) with the hydropneumatic shock absorbers in the rear. The car is a European version as i live out of the U.S.

The cars shocks need to be changed, and the car is really rough and is bouncing a lot. I have enquired with the two sole agents and they have both quoted me a price of approx. $4500 for the front and back. It is very ridiculous and i will not pay that money since i want to sell the car within 6-12 months.

Has anybody fitted a different brand? I have seen that there are boge & bilstein, but i have no experience with them. I would appreciate if somebody could give me advice? Please note that i need the car to have the same characteristics and the same level of comfort.

Thanks

Bilsteins are on the U.S. versions. See if they'll work for yours.
