    Fronts springs/struts won't fit, and options to modify them (springs) are pretty entailed- different spring diameters, rears though should fit but shocks are shorter, springs should fit the perches.

    Bilsteins sports are still available for front (bav auto has a great price), HD for rear and some have used old/tired HD's and have had them re valved at Bilstein to sport specs, keep an eye out for springs, they pop up once in a while.

    it would require huge amounts of work.
    The E23 strut insert is shorter than the E24/28 insert (I'm positive, I have them side by side) so you'd need to weld the E28 strut tube to the E23 knuckle...which is different, I know because I also wanted to do this.
    Its just not worth the trouble.
