I've chucked in a set i had lying around off the spare beam at the weekend. Seem ok but never going to set the world on fire on the rear of the car. Big grin

Can't say I really noticed anything special about them.

I wouldnt recommend it either.
The TRW suspension parts are excelent but brake discs and pads are not so great. I would recommend Textar...
