Not sure if it's a real article - but I'm a believer already.

Makes me sad being 1/2 Chinese :(

SAU.NSW'S next Tech Arvo will be held with dba.

The question needs to be asked as to what markings differentiate the real from the fake!

The people that had fake ones probably arent alive to tell you? :P

You're not alone bro.

I rather buy 2nd hand Brembo Calipers off a car and rebuild them.

At least I know they are legit.

Really depends on how their made and to what quality with what meterials

Still gotta be better then those plastic clip on brake covers :P

Story time :D, I guy I work with bought a Hitachi Electric hammer Chinese knock off cause his genuine Hitachi farked up, the knock off hit harder and has lasted more then twice as long so far as the hitachi, moral to this story is not all knock off are poor quality rubbish

I personally dont have a issue with these chinese made brake calipers.

I just have a issue with them slapping the brembo logo on it.

Surely brembo must've taken some action against this?

^^^ pretty sure China doesn't care... it was on top gear a few seasons back where chinise car manufacturers were making cars that looked identical to others... i believe they used a BMW X5 as an example.. They just called it a Chiangsuan 15441231-C (something like that)... BMW took them to court and lost.. IIRC the chinese car company argued that it looked nothing like the BMW..

edit: found the clip

The real worry will be in a few years time, and the second hand units come onto the market.

If its hard to tell Real from Fake new ones, used sets will be next to impossible!

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
