Fake Brembo??

[gunnerzz]

Just heard from two friends using brembo in their Myvi. Very cheap rotors, so should be fake but they say they perform better then their original rotors....:hmmmm:

myvi ori disc is solid rite?
maybe the fake is ventilated but dangerously thin.
or the ventilation area is larger than oe disc.
that explain why the better brake but i doubt it will perform the same under heavy usage.

Probably the UR fake not up to mark, so can tell the difference. I have seen fake Proton parts the stickers looks exactly the same to layman like us, but expert can tell apart.

lucky my proton is not using local part and its not mass produced.
so noo need to worry as who would copy renault's pary eh?
the volume just does not justify the cause.

I thought they are all ventilated or is there a difference in 1.3 and 1.5?

Your Waja, only the engine is Renault, right? Other parts are local, if not how to be considered local manufactured....

dunno abt latest gen myvi but the 1st gen has solid disc.
my wife viva is funny...i mati2 thought the disc is ventilated as i can see line in the middle of the disc when look from far.i thought wah...small disc oso ventilated.
to my surprise,its just a line...wtf is the purrpose of that?

my waja only have to worry abt the engine part due to availability not fake part.
other part i just buy aftermarket...no need to buy ori part as its non critical.

i am most concern abt proton atf fluid as the packaging is never encouraging.

Fake, thinness is one thing.

Repeated braking can damage it as well, due to inferior materials used.

Dont forget that counterfeit brakes dont offer the precise engineering and balancing the ori offers.

Myvi 1.0 uses solid discs. 1.3 and 1.5 are ventilated.

We have fake brake caliper covers in the market and now they even have the whole counterfeit brake system. There are just too many counterfeit products in the automotive market.

What i can suggest is before you buy anything expensive such as Brembo brakes etc..

1)Go to the shop..
2)Snap a pic of the serial number and packaging
3)Email to the product HQ (normally overseas, who cares..email is free!)
4)Patiently wait for feedback
5)If positive then happily go and install the part..spread the news
6)If negative then walk away, share the info. You just saved your money and your life including your friends and us here

But if shopkeeper die2 don't want give picture then we can die2 ask him question, verification and warranty card hehe

Also can check at the brand website do they really produce the part and do they have authorized distributor/reseller in Malaysia

Even after buy can quickly same day snap all the proof of purchase item and docs and mail to the brand website

Haha! True also. Spy shots...

I mean we could simply ask the shop owner whether is the brembo sold genuine or imitation, if genuine should present a warranty card, keep all receipts, when reach home do as suggested by Takuya, email brembo USA to ensure its authenticity.

that's wat I did with my rims, I emailed VOSSEN USA & by looking at the pic to attached for them, they told me my rims were fake.
