Don't like the look of them to be honest mate, they look like cheap foreign copies.

Your best bet would be to buy a of 4-pots off an sti or the like that has been broken , and get them sent off to Godspeed for a proper pisotn, sleeves and o-rings overhaul. I have seen 2nd hand 4-pots for around the 100notes mark, godspeed i think charged me £150 for them overhauled.

For the sake of an extra £100 would you really want to risk Totalling the car when the cheap copies fail?

They seem pretty good value for the money. If Godspeed are happy to sell them that should be all you need to know.

It's just the WRX Pro on them that I'm not a big fan of!

I sold my 4 pots that I refurbed myself, new seals and painted black with discs and brand new pads from a factors for £250 a wee while ago! Then bought a set of newish Brembos for £350 so you just gotta keep on looking for a bargain
