The spare rotors are priced similarly to the Z1 two-piece kits, but the BBK setups are really inexpensive. If I was going to do my calipers as well, I might go with a more well known brand.

The question that I have is if any of the big names source their stock from this company and just re-brand them. Also, if that is the case, are these brakes from the stock that did not make the cut, so rather than toss them, the company slaps on some paint and sells them for cheap?

They don't look like any other calipers I've seen... And Brembo and Akebono should be smart enough not to do that.
