So much is made of the front shocks for good reason but I was curious to see how many people have replaced the rears. My fronts are in need of a refurb so, when I get round to it, contemplating getting the rears done too given they're on over 92k miles.

The cups aren't new but I can't say the sachs are notably under-performing despite one of them being a bit damp. Certainly couldn't say I've noticed a difference when driving hard.

Cheers. Curious to see how different they'll feel, hear a lot but always wondered if I'd notice myself.

Sachs are needing to come off for a refurb and I have cup parts ready to swap on. My question is should I swap out the rear ones as well to match or is it fine to just put the front cup ones on and leave the original rears in place? I'll still be properly driving the car in this time and not...

Looks like I'll be needing these done in the nearish future, garage says the front right is very slightly damp. That along with about £1500 to spend on the bloody Boxster in the next 3 months. Aaarggghhh.

Belts are only a £600-700 cost if you're including the dephaser and water pump otherwise you're paying way too much.

Using the car is what needs to be done. The thought of someone keeping a Trophy wrapped in cotton wool and doing a few hundred miles in a year is depressing. It's like when you see someone that's done high miles in something like a Ferrari, they get it.

Stiffest clutch I've ever felt across a good few makes.

I'd get the 3M kit- https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B016ZVPUV6/?tag=ctphy-21 Used it on my M5 with impressive results-

Keep me posted on how it fairs in the fun stakes compared to the Trophy.

Is it a Cup? I know it's early days but how do these Meganes compare with the Trophy in pure driving terms?

On decent tyres, has anyone ever experienced any that isn't just a hint and then totally disappears? Now I know these grip like limpets but coming off a slip road there, 5 degrees, soaking wet (good visibility) and properly pushing it to see just how much the front can run wide, feel it...

Why not just up the premium to reflect the sanity of the customers in question? Very odd.

Well they're £200 brand new delivered from a dealer.

It exposes the seller's ignorance to ask for £6k and not even have an MOT on the thing. He'll be waiting a while, I suspect.

Price?

Carnoustie here.

Has he ever said why it's SORNed?

Camskill and blackcircles have them in stock. It's more with how the extra load rating compares with the Goodyear? Goodyears are cheap for what they are so is an extra £50 worth it for 2 of the PS3 XL's?

I've been very happy with the Goodyears but have heard a few folk mention the XL PS3 as offering a much better feel than other tyres, has anyone compared these directly? I only need to replace 2 tyres just now but am wondering if it's worth changing for better feel or if it's negligible?

Are you sure that was for Trophy ones? This is as cheap as I've seen them, even looking back to threads over 5 years old on cliosport.

What exactly do you mean by not set up right? It was a well regarded specialist that fitted them so hopefully it's just the sliders.

The rear calipers on my car were replaced 2 years ago but something seems up with them. O/S pads have worn at least twice as much as the N/S. Just seems odd with recent calipers. FWIW, if you do go for new brakes soon, I got genuine items from here for under £100-...

No pdf but it's better than nothing! Not sure what you're thinking about the Ford GT though- it won the whole thing. ;)

Just ticked over 89k.

Christ that's more than you could sell it for.

Did you have any joy? I'm also in Carnoustie and saw that one advertised, thought it looked and sounded well kept.

Thanks for the replies I shall report back whenever I get round to checking.
