380sl replacement shocks?
Want to replace the shocks all round on my 83 380SL. What are the cost effective alternatives and brands.
Thanks. J. Boggs |

SL shocks
Replace them with Bilstein's, you'll be happy that you did. You just have to decide on which model, comfort or heavy duty. Prices should be around $60.00 each if you shop around.

I replaced the shocks on my 73 450sl with Bilstein HD about 1 year ago. The original shocks were very badly worn out at 100,000 miles. The HDs are a little rough in town over bumpy roads, and otherwise fine. The HDs were recommended by the mechanic who put them in.
Does anyone know what the original shocks were: comfort or HD type? |

SL shocks
I would have to guess that comfort came standard.
