Never heard of them. Goodness knows where this originates from? 5 year warranty. Even Audi class calipers as wear and tear. Reckon you'll get 10 years out of an OE stock item. Granted its not going to be £35, but down the line given inconvenience of swapping out, brake fluid change and above all its a safety critical item. ATE, TRW, Febi, is about all I'd fit. etc. Basically fit and forget.

Update; Thanks for the advice and concerns about these cheap calipers. But the price was too tempting.
So I've fitted on these cheap calipers from the Bay, and it seems to work ok. The job was easier than I had imagined.

My thinking being that most of the refurb calipers use the old pistons unless they are badly pitted. So the only new parts are the square seal and the dust cover.
And as a backup, I can refurb the old caliper myself.

Update: the cheap caliper above is still working great.
Doing away with the banjo bolt is criminal.
