I had only one experience with FCP's ReTech calipers (a 240 front) but would not want to repeat it.

The problem(s) were that the bleeder bores (threads and tapered bottom) were poorly finished, and I chewed up 2 bleeder screw tips before I realized the problem. I had to seal off one with a setscrew, and the rest needed excessive (IMO) tightening. They looked OK with 15# bleed pressure but "weeped" fluid under running (boosted) pedal pressure.

Based on that kind of Quality Control I wouldn't use that brand again.
