Get the backing plate as they are bigger and have a air scoop too.

Top is w116 stock rotor. Bottom is 2nd gen w126. Thickness is obvious.

I've been driving on this setup for a few weeks now and I live up in the mountains. At first they felt the same till I got the pads bedded in and I noticed once they are warm they bite alot harder and I yet have to fade them out. I do notice I can lock up a front easily now with alot less pedal effort.
Edit: I did have to reuse my brake lines as the 126 lines didn't match up on the car side.

This also applies to a w116. I put these on my 80 300sd. They came off a 91 420sel iirc.
