I just finished doing a complete front end rebuild, and went with the following:

MB Sport-Line Shocks
MB Sport-Line control-arm bushings
MB Sport-Line SwayBars
H&R Springs (front & rear) spec'd for a wagon
Stock spring pads were:
1-bump (8mm) front; 2-bump (13mm) rear

Since I didn't want to adversely affect alignment range esp. camber we did the following:
2-bumb (13mm) front; 3-bumb (18mm) rear
All sits level front & rear.

Re-adjusted self-levelling so it is in NEUTRAL position, then had the wagon aligned to MB Sport-Line specifications.

Handling is significantly better than stock.
I was going to use Bilstein HD's, but it felt too stiff for city driving.

Hence, I used the MB Sport-Line shocks which are manufactured by Sachs.


Good luck,
