Deal breaker? Well that would be a personal opinion. If the car is in cherry condition, then the Nivomats would be more or less taking the bad with the good... in my opinion anyway. It isn't that hard to make the switch--I had a 760 Turbo back in the day and got the springs and shocks out of a wrecked 740 Turbo quite cheap as I recall.

Springs and shocks have to be replaced. The springs don't do much when the Nivomats are installed so they're too weak for regular shocks.

The Nivomats are redunkulously expensive.
