    hey there...just wanted to get some advice/opinions on improving e28's suspension and handling....my car has new bilstein blacks, and wheel spec is 235/45/R17 all round....the springs are stock and probably worn out....i'm planning on getting thicker anti roll bars, some strut braces and maybe some urethane bushes to stiffen things up a little. i would like to lower the car a little and i've seen these set of hot bit 50mm drop lowering springs being offered for e28 for under rm700...don't know whether those are good or not...but the other brands seem a little hard to come by locally....alternatively someone told me it might be possible to use e23 or e32 stock springs and cut it to be lower...he said those springs are stiffer so should be ok to cut...anyway appreciate any info on the matter...thank you.

    i dont know whether the eibach prokit is worth it or not...especially since im using standard shocks.....i've asked around and it probably looks more feasible to get customized coilovers
