Other than that, all is good. As for tyres, I had Bridgestone SO-3 Potenzas, and I can say the Kumho's I have on now grip just as good, they wear better and are almost half the price of the SO-3's. Kumho's are a tad noisier though. Many will tell you Michellin's are good, which they probably are, but be prepared to fork out the green stuff.
