    Guys, this may seem straight forward but I ordered a Brembo RCS19 from an Italian guy on eBay the other day. It has arrived today with the card of authenticity but the Brembo website keeps asking me over and over if I have entered the correct code as it is not recognised.

    The seller has nearly 3000 feedback at 100% and its all Brembo gear which leads me to believe he's genuine but why am I then getting this issue?

    Can anyone advise?

    Thanks.

    Isn't there a contact email on Brembo's website?

    I didn't unfortunately but a couple of guys on here bought from the same seller and said it was legit gear. I had it fitted and real or fake it works great. It looks real, works far better than standard so I'm thinking it must of been genuine.

    Who's your supplier and what are your reasons for thinking it maybe a copy?

    Thanks for the fast reply, I think it's genuine and been emailing the seller in italy all day. He says it's impossible and is waiting to hear back from Brembo. The only thing that concerns me is the ID card that came with the rcs Brembo website isn't recognising it.

    I was exactly the same, the card wasn't recognised, I emailed Brembo and got no response so they obviously aren't as bothered as they make out, the guys feedback was all good and everything looked too notch so like I say, I bit the bullet and fit it. It's perfect.

    No worries mate, I had Venhill lines fitted with mine and the firmness of the lever after fitting with the RCS is brilliant.

    Just done my rear line with a set of rear sets yesterday but not had chance to test yet.

    Good luck mate.
