Aliexpress is sort of like Amazon but Chinese based. It is run by the Alibaba Group, a company bigger (in gross merchandise volume) than Amazon & eBay combined.
So, your question reads: "Anyone tried things from eBay?"
It's not enough to just say: "Chinese crap!" It's all relevant.
Chinese manufacturers make HIGH-QUALITY products; the problem is weeding out the good from the bad. And that can only be done through ACTUAL experience.
Also, what might be good quality from one seller or even one manufacturer one day, might suddenly change in quality because of different sub-suppliers, change in materials or change in manufacturing processes, etc.
Overall, it is safer to source such important things as brake parts from a trusted source or better yet, from the OEM, IMHO.
