R 230 SL Replacement boot struts.

[Merc220cls]

The boot struts on my 2004 SL are not holding the boot up so will have to be replaced early next year.
My question is do I stick to MB original parts or fit an aftermarket alternative and if so any recommendations.

There’s quite a difference in price but I don’t want to scrimp if the quality isn’t there.

I replaced mine a couple of years ago with MB struts. Great quality. The aftermarket struts are cheaper but not by enough IMO.
