Lowering my E34
I plan on lowering my 530i very soon. I have a couple questions on how to do so. The car is self-leveling and I am aware that Eibach makes springs specifically for the self-leveling model. Will I also need to change out my shocks as well? OR can I get away with using stock springs? I am new to BMW's so I appreciate all the help I can get, thanks

Shorter springs lower the ride height...

you might need to get a self leveling elimination kit
not sure, but i think bav auto sells it, try bma autoparts too. you should be able to get away w/ stock shocks.
