My brother has an '87 760 Turbo with a sagging rear end. As I recall, this
car has the Nivomat self leveling suspension with the obscenely priced
shocks. Is there anything involved in converting to standard 740 style
shocks other than replacing the springs?

That's all just make sure that the springs are correct (not 760 Springs
way to soft)

Cool, that's what I thought, just wanted to make sure there wasn't some
obscure part I needed. Thanks, picked up some springs yesterday I pulled
from a 740 GLE.
