I would be very careful installing any components are your car that are not TUV/ DOT approved, ESPECIALLY something like brake components. I can only imagine the argument an ambulance chasing attorney would make against you for "not being able to stop properly because of unsatisfactory braking components" even though your components are likely better.

To be sure, Aviation regulations are much more stringent than Automotive ones, but all that means squat when you're faced with post-collision litigation and your Ins. Co. goes away because you used aftermarket
Off Road parts on your vehicle. You're just
feeding the Plaintiff's attorney.
