    it's not racing brakes.
    Small pistons, quite big calipper, for example to fit R18 wheel with 380mm impossible.

      Not any experience seeing / using them but I've made some enquiries through their website.

      They come in a range of rotor sizes 303mm for instance would fit in 16" wheels.

      Attached are some outlines they sent me for checking fit.

      Price wise they seem pretty cheap for a full kit - I got quoted $740 US plus $228 US shipping to Australia which includes:
      "slotted rotors, Lightweight aluminum centre hats, 6-piston calipers, Caliper mounting brackets, Stainless steel brake lines, brake pads, Tool kit (?)."

      In the end though I'm not too sure on the quality and I'll go with the tried and tested 996 setup when I get to it... some pictures of the xzy calipers on other forums look like they dont have dust covers too.

      below is the spiel I got with the quote from my email enquiry. . I assume the whole 'trial order / sample price' business is sent to everyone as it wasn't something I asked for.




      "Thanks for your prompt reply and interest in our products.

      My name is ............., I am so glad to contact with you and please note that I enclosed our company introduction for your reference.

      Please note that I enclosed the invoice and wheel fitment for your easy verification. Please confirm with many thanks.

      The shipping cost is about US$228 via DHL from Taiwan to Australia and the delivery is around 5-7 days. (if you buy more, the shipping cost will be cheaper than you buy 1 or 2 sets. )

      How about the price? Would you want to arrange this kit to be your trial order and start our first business cooperation which I look forward to?

      About the caliper color, we have painted and anodized two kind of standard options. The following is some optional colors and please choose the one favor color to collocate your car body. Thank you.

      - Painted: Red, Yellow
      - Anodized: Gold, Black

      * For the sample price, we will offer the special price the same as our dealer to you. (because of we hope that you can test our products first and know how high performance we have!) :-) And for sample order, it can be placed two times maximum without quantity and purchasing amount limited.

      For the payment method, we have bank transfer and credit card two kind of options at the moment.

      Please kindly choose the one paying type which is convenience to you and also please provide your company detail with shipping address, consignee person full name, tel and fax # to me. I will send the revised invoice for your reference when I receive the incoming response from you immediately.

      ....

      Even though XYZ is a new brand, but we trust XYZ is not only offer the reasonable price, we also have the good service and high performance quality for our products the same as other well-known brand suppliers. (if you have tested our products, you will know how high performance quality we have!) For the drop shipment, it will take 7-10 days or early when we complete the production. We have a lot of products on stock in our warehouse, so we can start to prepare materials and arrange the order to our production line when we receive the payment from you at once. :-)

      For XYZ, the most specially is our brand value. Because we have brake system, coilover system and other three kinds of product for supplying to our customers. For other product, we have Hydraulic Handbrake and 6 Point Harness (FIA approval) now. So far, we have a lot of applications for coilovers and brake system kits in our production line and continue to develop new applications regularly.

      Meanwhile, testing the sample really is an important part for beginning our business relationship. We sincerely recommend that you can purchase some sample for your testing and market research. We trust, our products can fit in with your market request, also XYZ will let you earn much money in your country by selling our products. We also can offer more flexible to your future order no quantity and purchasing amount limited once you become our dealer.

      * Our products have one year limited warranty, and any defective strut will be replaced with NEW one.You don't have to send it back to the manufacturer to be rebuilt to save your valuable time. This also is our products feature.
      I believe you can't find this service in any companies in the world.

      PS. We also have floating disc released for all applications. If you are interested them, please let me know any I will send the info for your study soon.

      For any questions, please don't hesitate to contact with me directly. We sincerely welcome you to become our distributors in your country and hope testing sample order will be the first step to start our business cooperation.

      ....."

          Yes, floating rotors tend to cost money. Though who am I to complain, I have Mov'it kit going into my UrS4

          Basically XYZ is rebranded D2 from what I have gathered. There are some other "brands" I have seen, that sell exactly the same thing.
          All quattro products have been dermatologically tested, and are safe for daily use.
