i am lowering my car, and looking to do so on a budget... would it be wise to buy used springs and shocks? if so, will e39 m5 shocks fit a 1997 528i, and seperately, will e34 1995 springs fit my e39 1997 528i?(the e34 springs are h&r and King... are these good brands.... prettry much the only brands i know of out here are ebiach, h&r, ac schnitzer, dinan, etc.... but have never heard of KING???

i dont know much about 5 series, but i was looking a complete set of shocks and springs for my m3 95, not much for lowering ´, they needed replacement urgently, and m3 suspension is unique, they dont work on the rest of 3 series, maybe it is the same for m5.
I never heard before of kings, if were you i would safe a little more and i would get the eilbach, with same springs or maybe H/R, i did the same, believe me they are worthy,
you never know about second hand stuff.
