Struts/Springs replacement procedure on e39

I would like to get shocks, struts and springs replacement procedures for 1998 528i. I have no sport susspension and I'm thinking about upgrading to Bilstein VN3-4439 Front & BE5-2829 Rear (for lowered springs) and H&R Sport Springs. Does anybody have any other recomendations for having sport suspension on a non sport car with ~82K miles

Hi Toxic,

The link/thread which provided by you doesn't include any replacement procedure. Do you know the right link/thread to get that information ??

Thanks,

here is the actual link,

The link to the actual link was what was posted by toxic. You had to read each thread to click on the "here" link. Bu there it is anyway. if you have any question, send me a shout. It is pretty clear cut, but there are some tricks and tips if you run into trouble.
