Are shocks easily done DIY on a 99 W202? My stock ones are finished and ill be replacing them myself with my dad who knows cars pretty well.

Anything to watch out for on the 202?

Yes, MB makes it really easy without having to compress springs or anything, but make sure you use Bilsteins or you'll be sorry - unless you've got a Sport.
