    15mm lower springs - which shocks?

    Hi everyone. This is for an E12 based 633.
    Will Bilsteins B6 or sport work as they should with H&R 15mm lower springs?
    Also some of these early cars have quite a lot of positive camber on the rear, especialy when the tank is low and nothing in the boot. Will i need eccentric bushings?

    Sports are best with lowering springs. That is what I am running on my 81 Euro. For the rear, you will have to get camber adjusters and have them welded on to your rear crossmember. Eccentric bushings are not the way to go. Ireland engineering should have the camber adjusters you will need.
