[s-cars] Big Red Knockoffs on Ebay - Junk?

[Taka Mizutani]

Apples to oranges- an unknown brand, "replica" brake is not the same thing
as Stoptech, which is a niche manufacturer, but US-based. Stoptech also has
certain engineering standards.

An unknown make of caliper has unknown standards. If you want to stake your
life on that, be my guest, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Along the same lines, I wouldn't buy Chinese-brand tires, but there are
Goodyears that are made in China for Goodyear, in a Goodyear plant- that
wouldn't be so much of a concern.
