bmw e34 touring rear self levelling suspension

[M5GT]

Can anyone tell me if i can fit normal shocks / not self levelling shocks to the rear and then just block the pipes coming from the power steering pump. what are the implications if any?? this is obviously a much cheaper option many thanks!!!

ONE OF THE REAR SHOCKS HAS BURST THEY ARE SELF LEVELLING AND ARE FED BY THE POWER STEERING PUMP, IF I CHANGE THEM TO SEALED SHOCK ABSORBERS I WILL HAVE PIPES PUMPING FLUID NOWERE. I KNOW THESE PIPES CANT BE BLOCKED AS THE PUMP WILL BUILD UP EXCESS NEGATIVE PRESSURE. THE AMERICAN FORUMS TALK OF KITS TO ELIMINATE THE SELF LEVELLING. SELF LEVELLING SHOCKS ARE £273+VAT EACH TO EXPENSIVE IN RELATION TO THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE!!
