I'm looking into getting a new set of front shocks for my daily driver. This 300d looks to have it's original shocks upfront, which provide a quite wavy ride after 419k miles of abuse.


I'd love to put bilsteins on her, but it's just a daily driver. I don't see her lasting more than a another few hundred thousand (heh)


Is there any alternatives to the expensive bilsteins? (and kyb, sacchs are about the same price) Would a used (gasp) set work for now?
