Thank you.

Hi Robert,
the H&R springs provide a quite moderate lowering and can be used with stock shocks, so Bilstein HD should do just fine... not tested myself though :)
Take care, HL

I have a set of (used) H&R lowering springs for E28, and a set of new Bilstein HD shock absorbers. There are not the Bilstein Sport version.
The question is: would the Bilstein HD shocks work well with the H&R springs, or these shocks are too long and will easily bottom (reach the bumpstop)?
Has anyone tested this combination?
My car is a 1986 535i E28.
