Q on Shocks for W126...
I want to put HD Bilsteins on my car.
I see them listed as two different part numbers... and at two different prices. Are these the same part simply with different part numbers, or is there a difference and if so what is the difference? Please help. -Confused. - - - - - P.S. - previously posted under a different title, but retrying with better title since the previous post go no replies  - - - I have a w126 (1989 420SEL) and I want to replace the rear shocks with HD Bilsteins. I am confused because I can find Bilstein part number F4-B46-0511-H0 listed as REAR HD shocks for my car, and I can also find REAR HD shocks listed as part number W0133-1612941 (Listed as Bilstein HD, OEM) I can find the W0133... part for about $15 - $20 less than the other. Can someone please enlighten me on the the part numbers / difference in prices.

The difference is that one of them is a "Heavy Duty" (stiffer) shock (the more expensive one) and the other is a "comfort" or standard shock. If you just drive your car (no sporty driving) then I would go with comforts. If you like a harder ride and do sporty driving, go with the Heavy Duty ones. I have Heavy Duty on my car and it is a bit firm, but sporty. On my other car I have the comfort shocks and it rides quite nice.

It does make the W126 ride nice, but in the W124, comforts are the way to go.
