Didn't the 190E 2.6 come with hydraulic rear suspension??

Anyway, I think you should know that "McPherson" is a TYPE of strut assembly, not a BRAND. So if they are trying to say that they are going to install "McPherson" struts, then they either don't know what they are talking about, or they are just trying to cheat you.

That said...$1,200 is WAY too much for new shocks to be installed.
