82 300CD Front End Rebuild and W126 Big Brake Upgrade - Parts Critique

Im getting ready to start ordering parts for my 82 300CD.

I will be putting 15" bundts on it, so I should have space for the 86+ W126 "big brake" (300mm?) upgrade.

My intent is also to install the w126 LCA bushings...

I personally just like the look of the bendix calipers that are on my CD, so it is sort of my intent to buy rebuilt Bendix if I can...

So, the list is below, can you critique it? I dont have all the little nuts and bolts...





These are the calipers I believe...



Not sure which rebuilder to get from... Most places, PP included, seem to only stock ATE... But Id like the Bendix ones FWIW...





My front spring pads have four nibs, but PP doesnt seem to offer any front spring pads. May go to the MB Classic Center instead, will have to see...

Any thoughts or recommendations???

Thanks!
