Brake caliper Akebono or POWER STOP

POWER STOP Brake caliper

I have used Powerstop Calipers Brake kits in two trucks. A Chevy 1500 High Country and Honda Ridgeline. I agree with you on detail esthetics but, these are great performance quality and the brake dust residual is so much better. Also they do follow through on their rebate offers. I touched my calipers up with paint.

Pros: great performance, less brake dust
Cons: poor aesthetics

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

POWER STOP Brake caliper

I have Powerstop calipers and their Geomet rotors in all 4 corners of my XJ (probably pads too, don't remember), and I have power stop pads on my Caprice PPV (they are the cop special ones). Good experience overall. The caprice ones are really squeaky for one stop after any rain or fog, but fine after that. XJ is being rebuilt, so I have not driven it yet.

Pros: good experience overall
Cons: squeaky after rain

Had them installed and im quite underwhelmed. Sloppy paint work and having clips not even color matching is making me want to put my stock ones back on.

Cons: sloppy paint, color mismatch
Vehicle: Dodge Durango

Recently i had a 5 month old powerstop caliper leak and my brake pedal hit the floor. No warranty outside 90 days plus there was no availability for ordering another set!

Cons: caliper leak, no warranty

I do not think the calipers are anything special. Just powder coated. I had issues with them (seizing) and replaced with refurbed oem Chrysler. Running the powerstop rotors with EBC Green pads. I would just upgrade pads instead of rotors and calipers If could do it over again.

Cons: seizing issues
