My opinion based on looks alone, 195mm ride height is funny looking.
Looks like a truck, the 195mm r/h is great for a stock suspension, not eibach/bilstein setup.

I might cruise out there Sat. afternoon, and check it out. Only about 20 minutes from me.

Oops, DOH!
Tech Specs Booklet 85-89, page72:
"Front Axle height Setting 190 -20mm**"
"Rear Axle Height Setting 173 +10mm**"
"** The height setting values apply to new vehicles. Used vehicles may be up to 10 mm lower, i.e. the tolerance may deviate by minus 10mm. This must, however, be the same for both axles."

The new shocks springs will be very stiff, and you may find that you have rubbing once they fully settle(which took about 150 miles for my Bilstiens i just installed).
Once mine settled i realized i was getting a wee bit of rear tire/fender rub.
