: What is the best and most inexpensive way to renew the rear strut system on the 1988 635CSI? Should the self-leveling system be eliminated?

For me personally I would recommend taking the self leveling system out entirely! It's heavy and I have found it unnecessary. In fact I found the handling to be atrocious with it. I replaced all the springs with Eibach lowering springs and installed Bilstein sports. The car feels so much safer and predictable. No more loose rear end sway. Total cost less than $700 (Check Turners Motorsports). I would do it again in a heartbeat!
