I have a 1973 280SEL 4.5 and want to add some Bilstein shocks. Their info states:
Series W108/W110/W111/W112
250, 250S, 250SE, 280SE, 280SEL
65-72 To 8/72 HD Front: B36-0527 Rear: B46-0537
B22-0246-BM Steering Damper

Note the "To 8/72". My car was built 9/72. I called the Eastern distributor and they said it was too long ago to tell but probably means there are ride problems. Since this car was only made two more months, it seems hard to believe that there was a chassis change. (Hence there are fewer '73 280SEL 4.5 than any others.) Any help would be appreciated as I would really like to mount these shocks but don't want a disaster or to but unmountable shocks. Any info out there for me?
Cheers,
Bill Pepper
