Some vibrations were present when braking from speeds higher than 80 kmph. So got the rotors skimmed and all vibrations are now gone.
BHPian DevOnWheels recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
A lot of work was done on Phoenix in the last 6 months.
Starting with the mechanicals, she received a complete service and more.
Some sludge was noticed when the valve setting was done. Hence, decided to flush the engine during the oil change. As suggested by friends, went ahead with Liqui Moly Engine Flush Plus and Shell Helix Ultra 5W40 engine oil.
Spark plugs were changed to NGK from the existing Champions.

Front left shock had leaked completely and the right one also started leaking a bit. OEM Showa shocks were no longer available as expected. Searched for Bravo ones for almost 2 months but failed. Saw some good reviews about Excell POWER shocks on a Cruze forum. With no other options left, went ahead with these and happy to report they are performing flawlessly.
The reverse light was working intermittently. It was diagnosed as a faulty reverse switch. It’s shared with many other Marutis hence was readily available.
The rear seat was making weird noises and the folding mechanism was not working. Took almost 3 hours to remove the trims and fix.
