Has anyone heard anything about them before

Never heard of them before, but they do have some decent BBK kits.

I've seen this place on the TV before supplying a customer with seats for a project and remember when they were on the TV they mentioned beginning to sell brakes and a number of office chairs in the form of Recaro bucket seats etc...

Looks like the same stuff as sold as a few different brands, like k sport and buddy club. Think its all made by PB brakes and suspension in Taiwan.

To the untrained eye, the Brembo ones would look good tho mate.

The only set I'd consider off there is the 360mm TAROX ten pot kit, but I can get them cheaper than that site if I wanted anyway!

What's wrong with the Brembo 4 pot & Tarox 6 pot kit for the MK5? I said decent not best brake kit in the world.
