While I generally advise people to support FastLane, I also routinely look elsewhere, including my local dealership. With a Mercedes-Benz Club of America discount of 20% I find them competitive especially when I need a part that day because of oversight or clumsiness. I catch myself breaking lots of little plastic or other nearby items on 20 year old cars as kind of collateral damage when I go to fix a particular item. Anyway, I buy my spheres (I think they are all about the same) from www.dbdepot.de, and I get Febi-Bilstein units for about the prices you quoted, depending on the Euro. Could be higher now than the last time I did it as the dollar seems to be falling. Sofar, no complaints. Fit perfectly and they ride like the origninals did when they were new. Jim
