Default SSBC products?

has anyone got any experience with SSBC products. I was looking at some of their products and was wondering about the quality.
one of their kits comes with new calipers. but I've heard that one has to be wary of new castings that come from overseas.

thnx

I have SSBC aluminum calipers for my 68 and 70. They are fine and look to be of good quality. I always assumed they were made in the US. I use silicone brake fluid in the 68 and the pedal is rock hard. The 68 has a rebuilt stock MC. The 70 has the SSBC aluminum MC. (The 70 has not been on the road yet.)

I was one of SSBC's first customers in the 70's when they started selling stainless steel lined Delco calipers.

I have an SSBC billet aluminum master cylinder, the quality is top notch. No issues at all.
