Everyone is absolutely entitled to their opinion, and we respect that.
Some folks might not realize it, but in today's global economy more and more Genuine and OEM parts are now made in China and Southeast Asia. Many URO parts are manufactured in these same factories, and the only difference is the boxing at the end of the production line. If someone doesn't mind paying more for an item that's still made in Germany, it's good to have that option. For someone on a budget, it's nice to have less costly options, especially if all brands available are coming from the same factory in Asia anyway. In that situation, price and warranty become more important than the logo on the box, and URO's two year warranty (and lifetime warranty on URO Premium items) beats many of our competitors. And we're in Southern California, so we're easy to contact if anyone ever needs assistance.
Regarding the hissing brake booster issue, the original factory seal isn't made of anything special and it only lasts a few years. Most people would rather replace a $30 seal than a $500+ booster every so often, especially if they can do it without having to remove the booster from the car. We don't suggest that method due to the technical difficulty, but give kudos to Oragex for showing how it's done, so adventurous DIY enthusiasts and technicians know what to expect.
