Apart from the obvious health and safety issues it's rather disturbing that the highest quality part is the box...

A quick Google shows Diamond as a Japanese brake manufacturer..

Diamond Japanese Auto Parts LTD is a world’s leading company with more than 30 factories specialized in manufacturing varieties of high quality auto brake pads, brake linings and brake shoes for all kinds of models such as light, medium and heavy automobiles. The brakes produced by Diamond are characterized by stable braking performance, good abrasive resistance, high temperature resistance, no noise and pollution.

for all JAPANESE and KOREAN cars

So are these genuine or are they knock off's....

The Brembo "factory" is next door....



I do like the ingenuity of these folk though... Pete

Shocking !!! asbestos free Not!!!! 2018 SE SDV8 4.4 Byron Blue

That's one reason I'm glad I only fit genuine brakes to my cars!

Actually, that's not quite true, I've used EBC Yellow Stuff before. I never know what to buy if I don't go genuine as I've heard bad things about Brembo brake discs and pads that Euro Car Parts sell too. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

The scarey bit for me is that I'm sure these ingenious chaps would have no problem finding different boxes/stickers to create any "brand" you wanted

Scary stuff for sure!

Things I never skimp on:

Tyres as they are what connects you to the road, brakes as they will stop you in an emergency or day to day, maintenance as it’s a given you want a safe and reliable vehicle

Seeing the below though has brought back memories of the fake alloy wheels that used to be shipped to the UK, and they couldn’t take pot hole strikes at speed and split into pieces!!!

I wonder what the life expectancy is in that dump. Agueroooooooooo. 93-20
I swear you will never see anything like this ever again....watch it..drink it in.

Interesting, seem rather slow progress to make some brake pads...Fair play to them though...

I just wished they'd sweep the floor around them. Why would anyone work in such a mess...
