rebuilding suspension 700 1990

Hi,
I'm ordering a complete set of TME springs from iPd for my 90 740GLE.
I've checked around for struts/shocks, and am curious if the Monroe Sense-track will work with these springs. I know that iPd sells Bilstein, but I don't want to break the bank nor can I wait until Nov 1 for restocking at iPd (sold out).
Also, I have a complete front-end bushing kit ordered and am curious what symptoms the rear bushings give when it's worn out.
In addition, I'm looking at some new slotted brake disks and pads on e-bay by Brake Planet. Can anyone tell me about these? Are they junk or will they work? Any input is greatly appreciated.
