Hello there,

Welcome to MVS. Most likely you have self levelling Nivomats on your ride. These are insanely expensive and also they are colour coded on the shock body and ideally should be matched to ensure correct fit.

OR you can adapt the car to a standard shock and spring setup for far cheaper. There are some DIY videos on this topic if you search around.
