Lee @Farqui, thanks for sharing 🙂
I've had mine for 5 years and almost 50k, and it's been fairly consistent throughout. The new shocks seem to have improved the ride comfort a little, and the car feels less floaty at higher speeds. Mine certainly needed replacing as the NSF and OSR shocks had been leaking quite badly. There was also a knocking noise coming from the rear shock. I replaced all four as I figured it was only a matter of time before the other two leaked as well. This is when I found out that cars before and after 2008 had different part numbers for the springs and shocks.
I'm running Pirellis all round, at the default tyre pressure (35psi). Wheel alignment has been maintained by WIM over the years, and the car is generally pretty stable on the motorway, even with the heavy winds lately. Might experiment with different pressures as you mentioned.
Interior rattles occur at various spots and come and go depending on the outside temperature. There is one set of rattles for winter and another for summer 😄. The sweet spot for this car seems to be 18 deg C (almost no rattles). I have fixed several along the way, such as the glovebox door rattle and rear power shade rattle, but just continue living with the others (very minor) 🙂
