looking for Sport shocks 500 sec W126
I am looking for Bilstein SPORT shocks for my AMG 500 SEC, I can't find a part number or know where to buy them. Any suggestions? I need all 4 either load levelling or normal.

Did you check with Tire Rack? Luke would probably be able to tell you.

No I haven't looked, I would like to find a part number, I hear Koni is good too. This car is lowered.

Johnhef might be a good resource. He's had a lot of experience with 126 performance modifications. Johnathan at Blueridge in Atlanta would certainly know.

Jonathan is "jhodg5ck." He's very knowledgeable about performance mods to MBs.

They don't make 'em, otherwise I'd have them on my car. The new Bilstein HD's that I do have on there just don't cut it for what I need them to do.
Jonathan has a way to revalve the HD's to the AMG specs back in the day, you can contact him for that, iirc $100 per shock to do but don't quote me on that.

I've never seen any. You could always try emailing them though.

Short of custom or contacting Jono, you might be. If you do find something, let me know, cause my car needs it desperatly.

sheeeesh
Ya I have the load levelling suspension and it doesn't do that LOL. maybe I should fix what I have, I need to change the air / nitrogen bags... Yes I have the parts. I want to race mine a bit, its a euro car that I will cut the cats (added for California) and maybe install a turbo or supercharger.
Does the supercharger sound crazy. We have a nice track up hear I can rip up and race porches. Did some fast driving in Moab too this fall. The Koni red or yellow shocks are suppose to be the one to get.
