Was thinking about going T3s all round.
Is this easy DIY and can I use existing pads with these ?
Cheers

just like any other discs - simple changeover job. Any idiot with a jack, a set of spanners and a wheel brace could do it.

I think it would be best to bed brand new pads to brand new or resurfaced rotors...because used pads could have uneven wear, so I personally would mate bed new pads.

Just a recommendation if you're using your existing pads, sand them using sandpaper which is sititng on a flat surface (e.g. a flat piece of metal or a window) which will minimise the chance of abnormal or premature wearing and grooving of the new disc.

I am running intima SR and T2 and I'm very happy. IMHO T3 is not required for a non tracked car.

Agreed, if it's a street car with the occasional track day in mind save your pennies and go the T2's, I've just fitted intima SR up front and SS in the back, seems like a good combo so far and low dust/noise

You don't need that much braking on the back, and the SR WILL NOT STOP YOU if your brakes are super cold, so best to go SS on the back, to at least give you a chance of not dying if you don't warm up your brakes.
