But it still won't ride like a modern luxury car, W126's ride real stiff for what they are. The W140 and newer S class series totaly PWN them in the ride and handling departments.

The shocks are definately not original. They're too grungy to tell what brand but they don't look like Bilstein or Sachs-Boge, more like the canister-shaped KYB type.
I found much better prices stateside than Canadian on-line suppliers too, so I think I can get 4 for less than $300.00, delivered. Still not cheap though, so I'd still like to get opinions on Bilstein vs Sachs-Boge. Actually, my preferred supplier only stocks Sachs for the front, so I was thinking of 4 of them....
