Shock Absorbers - Self Leveling vs regular

The 1993 500SEL needs shock absorbers, and it has the self leveling system.

Can I replace all four shocks with those that are for cars without self leveling?

FastLane has both, and there is a big difference in price. ($129 vs. $689 - each)

I'm guessing this would require draining my hydraulic fluid, but is that so bad?

Plus will the shocks fit?

Thanks for the help.
