New dealer shocks for my 124 car were Boge Sachs front & Bilstein rear. OEM specs are far more important than the name on the shock from what I can tell. With original MB shocks lasting 180Kmi they can't be that bad. In contrast, VW shocks are Sachs and some are junk at 10Kmi - so clearly MB requires Sachs make a better product than VW.
