I have been reading in this forum for about two months,I knew I wanted an e34 so I started to get familiar about them. So I just got one and now it's in storage for the next six months, I just got deployed to Uzbekistan. I want to upgrade the brakes and was planning in cross drilled rotors along with performance pads, but in reading about the use of the 850 brakes upgrades I wonder... should I just change over to the 850 brakes or go ahead with my original plan with rotors and pads.. any advice from anyone that has experienced this? The car will not be raced at all. I also want to change the struts and springs to lower the ride, I will like a somewhat stiffer ride but not to much, just sligtly than stock, any advice on this subject also will be appreciated. TIA, Dave
