It Looks Nice, But The Question is Would You Trust Your Life With it?
First time Ive seen these, could be decent but I dunno if i would trust some chinese reverse-engineered brakes.

There's nothing wrong with either one... don't bother changing unless you need more "bling show points" 
They're no Alcon or Brmebos but they get the job done on street and track. I know of more than one FI Z running the Megan setup with no problems.

03z33 - take a chill for a second. The Megan test pipes have a well founded reputation for not cutting the mustard, and as such, it makes people think twice about their other products. It's an odd thing because for some other cars, their items are decent (Evo 02 housing for example).
As far as them being the same, that's an easy thing to state, but based on the pics that have been posted of Rotora's and the pics Megan has on their site of these, they are not the same.

just from a cursory look, the caliper bridge and the outer casing look completely different
