BMW E28: Strut and Spring Stock Replacement

The car looked great at the height it was at, but I needed to refresh the suspension and this was the final thing to do. I decided it was best to go back to OEM since the lowering springs weren't in the best condition anyways. Even though it looks like a monster truck, I'm glad to did it since the ride is more comfortable.
Now I need to make something to cover the sunroof...

The Bilstein/H&R combo is a pretty upgrade from factory suspension. Stiffer, less body roll, but it’s by no means a great choice for “fitment” Coilovers are the route to go is you want to go lower than an inch. Cutting the H&R springs is an idea but it will affect the spring rates exponentially. I have a buddy who cut two coils off of the lowering springs and has a really nice ride height. But it is very stiff. The struts bottom out on big bumps also. Not quit raceland quality. But definitely not the best. Recently got myself a 528e I want to lower. But welding/cutting to run coilovers might be the way to go.

Did the front ever settle and thus get lower?

Qk question what shocks did you get for the car and the oem springs if you can put up the website it would be much appreciated

Great video. What type of wheels are those? Are they the m5 wheels?

They are 16 inch style 5 wheels off of a E32 7 Series!
