actually, its a hk co but made in china I believe. I dont know this co personally but just heard from kenji so I am not in a pos to make recommendation, good or bad. the reason why I showed an interest is this gives me the possiblity to custom make floating discs in oem size for my 323.
1 thing I would say though, china is the worlds factory, a lot of stuff on ebay are probably from china. if you really want to be safe, go for european goods rather than us. euro cos do check the goods received wheras us ones just take the goods by trust, allegedly. do what song bill does, buy german.

I honestly question the quality of HK made components. I had hub spacers made custom for my car, but after riding on them for a few days/weeks, they snapped and broke.
I am now using H&R and they are just fine...
The prices for US made components are quite attractive on the forums, and with the good feedback from other people who have installed it gives me more confidence.
Just my 2 cents.

of course there is no guarantee and can only provide some general guideline,
joking aside, do what song bill does, call them up and talk to them. I did w ebc and decided not to buy their product after my enquiry to them by email.

My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED)
Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres
Toyota MR-S 1.8 VVTI , Lagoon Blue with Red leather Air Con 15" standard alloys with Toyo tyres
Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
The car is now perfect apart fromt he vibration.
The engine run smoother and the cabin is quieter after the engine rubber changed
The car drives very nice and i think i had made a very good decision of repairing it rather than selling it
