To get the bits I need to fit them would cost me more than (car has run flats so no jack for a start) that and I'd have to get dirty

Word is, you're already dirty

Run flats suck hard BTW.

They aren't the best solution in a car where the suspension hasn't been designed from the ground up for them, luckilly the Mini SS+ suspension has been and they are very very good, unless you are racing all the time and that's not why I bought the car, ride wise the car isn't a luxobarge so you don't expect it to float on a cushion of air and the run flats are just fine

The pads are good and don't seem to squeal at all and already grip very well indeed, the new discs are BMW and are drilled and scored and are excellent the braking has improved by 50% at least
