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!

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • 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!
