Nothing wrong with them; however, what dissuaded me is that Koni sells the same damper for the 400E as the 500E. Now, given the 500E's completely different suspension tuning, geometry, range of travel etc. from that of its W124 brethren, this particular application seemed like it would involve more design compromises than I'd like. And given that the early 500E dampers were spec'd by Porsche & fabricated to MBZ standards, I felt more comfortable with that alternative.
Just my 2% of a buck.
