I wish to lower my E34, too. Have buddies that have lowered their E34s by changing to Eibach springs all round, but maintaining the OEM shocks. Looks good lowered with slightly harder than standard suspension feel. Certainly good for our bad roads here.
Do you think the shocks would last long with them bottoming out most of the time ... the OEM shocks travel is now naturally lower.
Advise please before I change to lower/firmer springs.
