For the most part seal are seals. I've used OEM seals and aftermarket seals and if fitted properly with proper red heat proof grease you are fine! the dealers will say get the "real" ones but its the same rubber!

I stripped and rebuilt a set of 6 pot calipers on my exup1000 and the after market ones were bang on a cost nowhere near as much.

don't know that seller though.
