W140 rear shocks...help!

I have an earlier post this week asking if $500 was a decent price to replace the rear shocks on a '92 500SEL. I am now told by the shop (an honest indy) that the car requires self-leveling shocks with a list price from MB of an astronomical $800 PER SHOCK! I have a query in the "Parts" portion of this wonderful forum looking for a decent used one and hopefully that will produce results. My question here though is this: Does this car absolutely NEED these self-leveling shocks, or can others such as Bilstin be fitted and not loose stability/performance? If so, which model numbers will work?
Help....I can't afford $1600 for two shocks!
