    I just did a google search on that product number and found nothing of interest.

    Sounds like their own "Unique Product Code"

    I have a friend who works for an importer of Chinese made parts including brake pads and rotors. He lands most pads in the country including shipping and duty for around $4-$6 a pair and won't put them on his own work supplied car.

    I personally would stick with tried and trusted brands. Brakes are too important to go for cheap.

    How about you go down an check out their factory in Croydon before you comment.

    They also do coil over suspension. They deal with Holden, Autobarn as well as a few race sponsors...

    How would you compare them to a brand name like DBA? I've always watched these discs on eBay but I've never followed it up because I had no idea what they were like.

    My brother used to always run DBA Gold slotted & X-drilled in his cars, Until he found this guy. He got me onto this guy an it is the only brake guy I have used in ages. His pads are good, But produce a very high ammount of dust.

    I helped an old workmate with a 330mm brake upgrade kit from this guy, an I have had his brakes on 5 of my family's cars now. Never an issue.

    I cant compare them to DBA directly, But I can say they are incredibly good bang for buck.

    Cheers

    Sorry Mat, I didn't realise that your post was refering to the ebay seller, I thought you were offering an alternate supplier of good brake components.

    Are these units rebadged from somewhere else (DBA/PBR/RDA?) or does he do his own? Made here or overseas?
