Rubber material feel like the same kind like in oem Brembo.
I haven't install calibers back to the car yet, but I can't see why they won't be good. Im waiting to few parts to come. Looking forward to install these to the car.

thank you for the info!
have you had the chance to ask the seller which brand made them?
excellent! Are you currently in the process of rebuilding the caliper shown in picture?
No, those are mine. I have rebuilt calibers and those are light weight performance rotors with custom "hats". I will upgrade my cars front brakes. I have a built topic in cls218 coupe section. There is more stuff about this brake job and also other upgrades etc. if you are interested to see.

EDIT: I did read previous post wrong. So did make a correct answer for it.
Two sets of brake pads ago I did the (eBay) rebuild kit just as part of day to day "may we well do it". They lasted about two months. I had a leak behind a brake piston that was a PITA to figure out where and why. Got the OE set that yes - costs more (still under $100 if I am not mistaken) and has been flawless. We should be a bit careful where we cut costs....for me, it will not be on brakes going forward.
OH!!!! Now that I think about it same thing on the parking brake system of the GLS. It leaked. Had to get OE on that as well.

Hi
Well, my idea was not to cut cost att all. Just couldn't find a OEM repair kit with inner seals and boots anywhere. Please can you give me a link where those are to sale?

What eBay rebuilt kit did you use that failed?
I dont know what one it was like 2 years ago now. I considered that a lesson learned. However - YESTERDAY the kid show up with a new Mercedes oil cap for his C300 he got on eBay...did not fit. Mercedes logos on it, even the proper Mercedes part number (matching the one in my E's, GLS and the C300)...was not corrrect and did not have the metal tabs ours have (so, there is eBay for you).
For the seals, I got them at my local MB dealer (as I also could not find the real ones online).

eBay for me? Im sorry to hear that you and relative had such a bad experience from eBay stuff.
Not all stuff there is copy and bad, its not that simple.
I will go with that repair kit what I have installed and will see what happen.
But this is now off topic and is now enough for me.

Intention isn’t to cut cost. I wish to find OE or OEM parts for it. Would you have any source?
what about reaching out to brembo? I have found when parts are unobtainable at the dealer All they have to do is put in an order and eventually the parts show up. I’ve also found better options for things like this in the European marketplace but it’s been a while since I’ve looked for the caliper boots
ai also states racing brake has a good rebuild kit, and that brembo will not sell to the public… but has parts

interesting, definitely will reach out to brembo.
What do you mean by “racing brakes” has a good rebuild kit?
