Converting US Spec M5 to Euro spec suspension

[lenaxia]

Hey all,

My suspension is tired and needs to be replaced. I am looking at making the switch to euro spec so I can get mildly improved performance and nearly the same ride height. I've dug through a lot of the forums, and have been looking at several threads and I think I have all the parts I need but would like a sanity check before I order everything.

This was my primary resource (among many other threads): viewtopic.php?p=1017614#p1017614
I decided to go for the pre-2/1986 Bilstein setup as opposed to the post-10/86 Boge setup.

Is there anything missing from this in order to make a conversion from SLS to non-SLS and US to Euro?

Haven’t the M5 springs or struts/shocks been NLA for a while now?

[lenaxia]

Ivo reports them as available in Europe.

Highly recommend the euro springs. I went with every conceivable combination, only thing that was satisfactory was the euro springs

[lenaxia]

Are the parts that I listed the same ones you ordered? I mean I already ordered from Ivo, but curious either way.

What all did you need to swap? Anything I'm missing?

Anyone have luck changing this old springs etc?

Thanks
