W124 saloon/estate shock query

[Sickpuppy e220]

Hi. I have been offered some new rear shocks for a 95 e220 estate.
As I have a saloon of the same vintage. I wondered if these would fit and perform ok.
I guess they would be firmer than a saloon shock. However would these be comparable to a heavy duty saloon fitting?
I am very tempted by them as they are going to be around fifty pounds cheaper than the right ones from europarts.

Any thoughts???

Sorry but the saloon shockers are bigger in length than the estate ones. I went though this a couple of months ago. Had to bite the bullet and order 2 new ones (mega bucks )

Cheers Ian.
Have sourced new bilsteins for just under seventy pounds the pair.
However I had hoped to save a little lol.

Looks like my pocket money is going to suffer :0(
