Some Meyle is good - some Meyle not so good. From a local vendor I bought a set of Meyle front discs that have been really good. But I also bought a set of Meyle front wheel bearings - not so good. First test drive after installation the right front bearing failed. So with Meyle is a definite YMMV!! Pretty sure all Meyle must made in China!!
