Re: brakes
Heard good reports of those. Not fitted them myself, but only because mine still work There are those that won't contemplate a anything other than well known brands but if that were true of supermarkets, ALDI and LIDL wouldn't even have a market. There are emerging companies in Europe that actually produce some very good remanufactured parts.

Re: brakes
Well, theres another alternative. Rebuild your existing ones. You can get kits you know. Calipers tend to be like starters - there are rarely new ones - they all just get rebuilt. Thats what I'll do if mine start going leaky. As long as you work clean.

Re: brakes
Yep, they're fine. Think I'd baulk even at that cost but at least you can just swap them, job done I suppose. I imagine they just retap broken bleed screws and clean them out with an airline but then they're doing them all day long so used to it.. I've got a broken bleed screw on one of my front calipers but I just bleed via the hose and nip it up sharpish.

Re: brakes
I bought some after failing to remove a stuck calliper. They fitted just fine, and been in use for 6 months without issue.

I honestly don't know the prices of exchange units but I bought new pistons, seals ect from these people.
