Owner reviews for brake caliper

Added more desirable Akebono calipers to an old Jeep WJ

Was lucky and found a set of 996 calipers front and back from someone that was parting out a carerra. Couldn't be happier with them, pedal is firm and confident inspiring

The little non sport Akebono calipers on q50’s are know for warping the OEM rotors. I went through 2 sets of OEM and kept getting the vibration when braking from highway speed before eventually buying some shtty Chinese “drilled and slotted” aftermarket’s. Never had the issue since.

The only thing I found lacking were the OEM brakes. I upgraded this once I started with the HP upgrades. I added an Alcon 6 piston set.

Red Power Stop Performance front and back calipers

Giant 370z Track model calipers in the house this evening

I recently did a brembo 18z caliper install and sadly my Audi s3 wheels do not clear the calipers. Plenty of room around the barrel, but the spokes hit. i will be adding a 10mm spacer to make them fit.

I just did my rear brakes! I forgot to plug one of the caliper motors back in. And tried to take it out of maintenance mode, it freaked out. But luckily it was fine after I reconnected the caliper.

I bought new Power Stop calipers. I have not been able to get the brakes fully bled since then. The pedal was really bad. Even after multiple bleeding attempts, including by a shop, it's not perfect. My power bleeder also couldn't seal with these calipers.

Power stop reman parts are trash. Only buy them if you’re planning on re-rebuilding them yourself with oem parts. Out of the multiple sets of calipers, all of them had issues like seals not fitting or being torn up, blasting media left inside the caliper or slide pins, pistons being scored or rusted, etc. The red powder coat was decent though lol.
