Probably not the right way lol. I have a trolley jack and a rubber puck and jack the car up just behind the jacking point.

Thanks :)

Honestly, I wasnt sure if it would look good with the orange being so bright. But I like it behind those wheels :) And, no more rust on the hubs :D

My car has been on the rollers. It produced 166bhp. :) Only changes from standard are k+n filter and quad exhaust :) I also have nitro+ diesel. Thats 10 more than last year when I brought it here.

Compared to mine, these ones will work as I need new brakes anyway lol.

Apart from looks, grooves clean the pad surface and increase the brake faces (the leading edges of the grooves) so in theory the more grooves the more faces.
Good brake bite due to:
A - forcing pad material into the holes
B - increased braking surface (many leading edges in theory)
C. allowing gases formed during the braking cycle to escape from the disc braking face.

Of course, if they arent bedded in properly, they can crack and shorten the life of the disc, and they are a little noiseier than normal discs.

You're forgetting the most important bit. Grooves and drilled holes lead away heat a lot better than standard discs aswell. Not that it's really needed on a daily driver but it's always something.

Which will help prevent brake fade if under heavy/constant use ;)
