Rod Upgrades for MK2

Hi everyone I'm very new to this forum and I'm sure this topic may have been covered before. However I have a I3 MK2 which I am in the process of upgrading to the MK2s I have had it around 2 years now and its been a fantastic printer. I have noticed recently though the bearings which are all the standard ones supplied in the kit are all starting to progressively get noisier. They are lubricated on a regular basis and I am thinking they are on there way out. I have been researching around to discover I have the unhardened rods as my rods are non magnetic and could be potentially prone to becoming scored which I am keen to prevent. It seems the consensus is to be using the misumi rods and bearing however I don't seem to be able to find a supplier in the UK. I have seen this set on eBay but I'm not sure of the quality or if anyone has any experience with them.

I would be grateful for peoples advise and suggestions into a suitable supplier of the necessary rod upgrade.

Thanks in advance

Dan
