- 2x E350 CDI Sport W212s... for a bit
Hi,
2010 E350 with 50k miles. I think one of the front springs broke, no idea how or why. In any case - has anybody swapped them over for Bilstein/Sachs springs, or did you stick to MB? It's about a 2x difference in price.
Bilsteins are £100 for the pair, delivered via AUTODOC.
Sachs are £109 for the pair via Carparts4less (basically Euro Car Parts online only store)
MB are £232 for the pair via local dealer (£214 via Mercedes Newcastle on eBay)
Obviously MB is the least likely to cause issues and I'm leaning towards that, but are the originals simply rebranded Bilsteins/Sachs?
Cheers!
