Strut advice 1995 E320 Wagon

Hey all,

Getting ready to rebuild the front end of the E320 wagon and want some advice on struts.

I'm looking at the Bilstein Sport struts and want to go with them, but I haven't really seen anything related to their performance and installation which has me a bit worried.

My question is will these work on the E320 wagon? The wagon has the solid ball joints (replacing both LCA's as well).

Do I need different springs in order to put in the sport shocks? I'm putting a set of AMG Monoblocks I have on it, and I don't want rubbing. In some places I see that it is for shorter springs, but in others they say nothing about it.

Is the strut similar to the Heavy Duty strut in valving? If the struts are the same, and the sport is only different in length then I might just go with the Heavy Duty.

Thanks and I'll keep everyone posted with what I decide on!
