Seeing as I can't find out if anyone has tried these out, I am going to buy and fit these

My brakes need doing as on advisory from MOT all discs are badly pitted, handbrake efficiency registered as 18%... d'oh!

Anyway it's

Was it only an advisory?

Mine has just failed its MOT for pitted rear discs and pads are low. Handbrake efficiency was 15% Doh
