W126, MPG Products to Increase Mileage

Hello everyone, I am working on some of the final steps of restoring my 84' 300SD and one of the last steps in the suspension. I have purchased a lot of the stuff already (from the source of course) and the rest my Benz insane brother gave me. Here is what I am doing and replacing to get back the newer ride and handling like when it was new(er). Any advice or missing items, I would sure appreciate before I get things torn down and and advice or thing to watch out for would be good also.

I have an 84 300SD (126) and have a question. My shop that is helping me with my car said that my brakes work great (and they do) but the pads are worn. I have read here and in other helpful forums that it can be hard to tell whick brakes your car has (ATE,Bendix etc). Is there a way I can tell what brakes I have so I can order the right replacement pads. I am all fired up now and want to do that on my own also. Thanks in advance guys, Doug in Dallas P.S. I got the new primer pump and it was a super easy install. It works really great and does not leak. Thanks again for that.

i have a 84 300D and the floor is rusted out.. i was wondering if the 126 chassis has the same floor design. Since I wanted to cut it out and replace it, and the only floor I will have access to is from a 126 chassis. Thanks!
