Nothing like fresh rubber and shiny new discs! Grips and stops so much better now. Thanks again for all the advice guys

Quick shout-out to 4 Rings in Dartford. Would highly recommend them... Dean really knows his stuff :thumbs:

Looking good!

I've just had 4 new PS4s for mine via Kwik-Fit. Car feels so much better just from the new rubber. Managed to bag 20% discount on Cyber Monday.

I'm at 28K miles on the first set of discs and pads and am very close to needing to replace them. My discs look just like your old ones with a lot of pad deposit. I've been through the 'bedding-in' procedure again to try and clean them up. Seem to be getting there but I think they are on their way out. Knowing you had 32K miles out of yours is a good benchmark. Tempted with non-OEM though for discs and pads. May go VBT for the fronts and standard for rear or RB Racing discs for front and rear. Adds to the cost though...
