I need to have new Shocks put on the '81 240D, the local guy quoted 2.2 hours for labor. I thought these took more time than that? I can get out of his shop for about $375 out the door with 4 new Monroe's installed.

Has anyone put the Monroe shocks on their W123? Any comments would be welcome.

I'd rather have Bilsteins (the sport shocks) if they can be had.
