That said, I would also like to know what shocks will work for the rear, just standard E28 Koni Yellows?

This thread is exactly what I need. I finally decided to do a decent suspension setup rather cut springs and blown shocks ha. I just need someone to spoon feed me what shocks I should get, what and where I should get the sleeves, and which springs I should get including spring height and rate.

I have heard of the E34 540i brake upgrade to an E28, so obviously something swaps over...
Brakes from a plethora of cars are interchangeable to the E28, including the E31 and E32. The most common upgrade is to take E32 750iL front brakes with E34 540i rear brakes. They all bolt right up, as long as you have the carriers and all other associated hardware.
Some people put in the E32 master cylinder for better feel, but I didn't find it necessary when I swapped in the aforementioned brakes.
Here's a good FAQ about what will fit the E34/E28/E24, brake-wise:

I assume also that E34 540i front brakes will fit on an E28?

about halfway down the page here it says what the E28 hub diameter is: http://www.scrappycrow.com/e28wheels...eelstires.html
Near the bottom of this page is talks about E34 hub diameter: http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Upgrad...ls_upgrade.htm
