akebono caliper

Hey guys just a quick question. Can the akebono front calipers be used on either side by just switching the bleeders or do they mount differently?

They are side specific..the bleeder direction has to be facing up. IE you can't use a right side caliper on the left because the bleeder would be upside down and you'll have dangerous stopping issues

No unless you want to drill and thread a precisely sized new hole for the bleeder and plug the old hole.

akebono calipers are dirt cheap..not worth all that work. You can get front and rear calipers from the dealer for 240f and 200r bucks brand new. You just need to add the accessories
