W124 300TE - question on rear shocks

Friends:

Need to freshen up the shocks on our 175,000 mile 300TE. I plan to go with Koni or Bilstein, with something a bit stiffer than OEM. Neither of these manufacturers lists a rear shock for the wagon (I want Bilstein HD's, they do list Comforts).

I searched the archives and some made mention that the shocks for a 300E will work on the 300TE. Anyone with experience on this?

I would assume one should stay with the same manufacturer for front and rear?

Any and all comments are greatly appreciated!

Brian

84 733i 5-speed wallows worse, next on list
