RetrofitDifficulty: MediumSeveral threads agree

Delete the E28 rear self-leveling (Nivomat) shocks: fit conventional shocks and springs together

The self-leveling shocks can only be replaced as a pair with non-SLS springs; SLS springs do not work with ordinary shocks. Owners fit Bilstein HD or Sport (B6/B8) rear shocks with Euro or M-Technic springs, or the Euro M5 setup (Bilstein rear shock 33521129241 with spring 33531125315 for cars before 2/86). Plan new spring pads, mounts and guides; one thread lists every part number.
