I found a place here in Houston that sells Mercedes parts to dealers. New Bilstein shocks for 20% less than the mail order places, and 50% less than the retail auto parts stores. I assume these places exist in all cities? It appears that a person can buy Bilstein shocks for just a few dollars more than KYB. I have learned a lot from this forum.

yes but they won't sell retail at those prices. you either have to be a dealer for them or buy through one of the dealers on their network...
