How much do Alpina springs lower an e12 vs. stock?

I've got them under a '78 635 with Bilstein sport shocks. Not a factory spec, just my visual estimate = an inch and a half.

Shocks, their spring perches matter. Eibach springs in my 528 with Bilstein HD shocks are right on the edge of loose floppy if cornered hard.

A lot. I had some on my first E12 for a while and it was low and very stiff. Uncomfortable actually. Handled great, looked great, but not so good to drive everyday. At least IMHO.

Thanks for the info.
