These guys are a new one on me, anyone used them before?
I can’t see their address or registered office address in the website, I might be just be missing it, but without it I would not use them at all.

The discs aren't dual cast since Brembo owns the patent for the technology. The TOOLE discs are Chinese made, which doesn't mean they are bad. A few US based re-sellers offer the same discs and it appears that the "other" forum has found them to be of good quality as in no warping or juddering so far. Of course it would be great if somebody in the UK buys a set and reports back after let's say 5000 miles of proper driving....I was intrigued about this, so I did a bit of digging. The description gives the spec of the cast iron (it is not clear if the discs are actually dual cast like OEM or just look like it). Suffice to say that one of the specs given appears to be an equivalent to an European spec used in a large country in the far east.

The way the World goes these days, plenty of OEM parts are made in "funny" places - Goetze piston rings are made in Bulgaria and Turkey predominantly, the Pierburg Air Suspension compressor on my X5M is made in India, a lot of Porsche suspension bushes are made in Slovenia etc, while the Taycan and 911 cable looms are Ukrainian made. Get a load of this - next time you board an Airbus - the doors are made by Latecoere in Plovdiv, Bulgaria...
P.S. Of course, the discs could turn out to be made of chocolate too. We need a volunteer...
