I guess, when I need some, the safest place to purchase will be the manufacturers.
EBC had this problem a few years ago and they reckon they are still having problems from it. In there case standard brake pads were being painted the various colours and packaged up as the genuine thing. Probably OK on road cars but can you imagine the problems high performance cars would have?

The problem with fake parts is big, I have heard of so many instances I could write pages on it. Filters, Spark plugs and poor quality sensors repacked as high quality branded items.
