Is the wholesale closeout @Rockauto Nugeon brand any good?
What is the forum’s consensus?

I've used them on something before, but I assumed them to be just more basic, bottom dollar parts. I wouldn't necessarily consider them good or bad....more like "meh it'll probably work"

Never heard of them before, until the same place you saw them. Got the same email from Rockauto about a wholesaler closeout and our older cars all had Nugeon calipers available.

A lesson I have learned the hard way ....... only buy new ---- never remanufactured parts.
Much less headaches and no "core" charge crap.

I got nugeon calipers for my e90 from rockauto.

FWIW I used two of them on my Accord back in October of 2021 and they have been fine so far. No leaks or anything else I know about.

Thank u everyone for responding. I bought the wholesale special since they did NOT require a core return. At approx $35 a piece. I am missing the rear right since someone bought the last one without a core charge. Only paid $20 shipping for 3 calipers that weighed in at 35#.

I cannot refuse a deal. Cheaper than what I can purchase locally and I don’t have to do a pickup or do a return core charge. Saved 45 minutes in time and have parts on hand if needed.

I've used them with no issues.

Good luck with the Nugeon

You should've gotten the new calipers. It's usually better to buy all-new than reman

Anyway, Nugeon also used to import Axxis brake pads but stopped doing so due to low sales.

The Toyota Venza only have new fronts to sell, the rest are remans.
