Bilsteen Rear Shocks For W126?
I understand Bilsteen shocks are OEM replacement for a 1991 WS126. Is there any reason to get the Heavy Duty version over the standard version if the car is used on an ordinary basis?
Thank you. |
Provided that the car is not "lowered" or you do not routinely carry heavy loads or use the W126 for towing, sounds like you're a candidate for the Bilstein Comfort shocks.

I too debated the 'comfort' vs 'HD' Bilstiens, and went with the comforts. they're excellent- stiff enough for better handling, but not as soft as the originals. Much better ride.
|
Stick with the Comforts. When I had my '88 420 SEL, I put HD's on the rear. Result?
Uneven handling; harsh bump reactions in rear; affected overall balance of vehicle. Not a good idea. Comforts are the ticket!! |
I don`t think you have rear shocks. should be hydro in the rear.

I think the 420 SEL has rear shocks....the 560 SEL has the hydraulic self-leveling system.
