We swapped to Eibachs and new struts. Cakewalk - didn't disturb anything! Car drives perfect afer the swap.

1/2 tempted to say heck with the alignment, but that's not very PC of me....

The E28 has to be preloaded before you tighten the lower and upper control arms which I'm sure you either have or will be replacing. 150 lbs in each front seat, 150 pounds in the rear seat, and 40 pounds in the trunk. Makes the car sit a touch lower and unloads the rubber bushings when there's a load in the car, such as a driver.

I'm pretty sure the E34 is set up that way too.
