    Good to hear Valdelis - if you were happy with ride height with factory springs, is it safe to say they'd be ok with new sachs - maybe an uprated h&r ARB front and back and powerflex bushes to match? (intended as a daily - no greater stiff ride needed, than stock)

    A spring is a spring - unless it's broken - would the factory springs do another 150K? The MTech shocks were sachs OE anyway weren't they?

    becouse rear springs very common to broke on E39 ,with msport suspensions .of course first thing why this happens ,is old, not really strong shocks ,and very offten springs are very rusty ,wouldnt look nice with new shocks
