Brake caliper Akebono or Brembo

Brembo Brake caliper

Just finished porsche junkyard cayeene Brembo 18z from a junk yard. Super cheap score. Fronts came out great but my audi wheels wont fit. The spokes hit the caliper. So i ordered 10mm spacers and longer lugs.

Pros: super cheap score
Cons: wheels wont fit
Vehicle: Porsche Cayenne

Akebono Brake caliper
805 GTI
  • Pulling:
Rating 4.0

Brake pedal drops a bit lower before it begins to stop but it is not spongy. They grab really good, shorter stoping distance, and I can make my ABS actually activate. With the original calipers it was pretty hard to activate for some reason, running the same Akebono Euros as this setup so must be the bigger calipers. Great Upgrade

Pros: shorter stopping distance, good grab
Cons: pedal drops lower

Here's my 03 Jetta TDI. I used 986 generation non-S Porsche Boxster Brembo 4 pot calipers front and rear with OEM Brembo pads and hardware. I went with these over the 17Z/18Z big 6 pots so I wouldn't have to install a different master cylinder as the factory one doesn't move enough fluid to actuate those big brakes effectively.

Pros: effective braking, fluid actuation

I have 2006 porsche cayenne turbo calipers on my r32 skyline. It's a simple bracket that allows you to use 370z track rotors. The calipers are 6 piston brembo units. They were 100 CAD each at a specialty wreckers.

Pros: inexpensive, 6 piston
Vehicle: Nissan Skyline

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.

Pros: plenty of room around barrel
Cons: spokes hit calipers
Vehicle: Audi S3
