Hello, My name is Pat, is there any difference between the back springs and shocks on the aventgarde 1998 300 turbo diesel mercedes E-Class and the classic models? I have a 1998 mercedes 300 turbo diesel E-Class. If you could help me, that would be great. I'm nearly sure that there is no difference. But I thought I should ask a professional! Many Thanks Pat

Pat:
We are trained to only recommend direct fit parts. I hope you understand why... What I will tell you is this. You need to contact a parts store or your dealer to confirm that they are the same part number. If they are, you're good to go. If they are different, don't interchange them.
