They are just trying to make you think they have anything to do with AP by mentioning it several times, but you can see they aren't, as they have a REASONABLE PRICE and are not OVERPRICED like AP's.

i wouldn't say AP's are over priced, when you compare them to cheaper brake kits you know why you pay the extra money!
check Reyland for some great prices.

These are nothing to do with AP !
Infact they look better than AP, but are not very good at all. I know a guy with some on a scooby, and when he applies brake pressure, the calliper 'stretches' outward and looks like it's gonna explode!! All the pedal pressure lost through the callpier...not good

Any cheap stuff coming from NZ or Aus is probably made in China despite what the adverts say. Most probably it is shiny shit/fools gold.

Actually they're made in Taiwan. Seriously they are.
