It would be a chinese knock-off. The chinese also sell knock-offs of Fram orange filters.

>My oil filter is bosch - $2
this is interesting.... about 5, 10 years ago, bosch opened a factory in China. it is an "official" bosch factory as far as I know. since then, you can find many bosch parts at very low prices. the quality is no doubt less, and I would guess that the metals are less pure.
The only thing I've bought from them were my diesel injectors and I can only say they perform well and have been for about 3 years

I spend $300 on close out parts from RockAuto and redid all my brakes, and suspension.

90% of is amazing. $9 for rotors, $13 for calipers, $11 for tie rods, $35 for each strut, etc.

>centric pads and cheap chinese rotors
fuck I know that feel, I don't even bother with taking the rotors to a shop to resurface them since getting new ones is so cheap

>friend bought car for $75 once (extenuating circumstances, owner didn't want it and it was broken, fixed it for 2 hours + free transaxle)
>never did any maintenance ever because in Canada an oil change would have cost half the car's price
>drove it for a summer
>sold it at $200 profit to someone who was made aware it hadn't had an oil change in 10,000 kms

beat that nigga

I wouldn't put chinese parts on a track car, but they are perfectly fine for wear items on dailys.

My $10 rockauto brake pads out lasted and out performed my fancy $40 pads from the parts store.

Holy shit.

As long as you are taking care of it. You're better off running the value brake pads and changing them as needed instead of being like the average driver who runs OEM brake pads until the piston is digging into the rotor and then wonder why they need a $1200 brake job because the calipers and hardware are fukt.
