Yes. They are Akebono calipers. I got them back from Okinawa powder coat. I am reinstalling the pistons, so I probably won't get them installed until I get back from a trip to the Philippines.

 

So I'm assuming Powerstop is the main manufacturer for the "brand" akebono?
How are they?
i might pick these up!

 

They are rebuilt akebono calipers

 

Any new updates?

 

There a multiple ways to go about this, but for those wondering - this works. They are legit Akebonos and a nice upgrade in both performance and appearance. I did something similar when I upgraded brakes, but spec'd my own rotors and pads.

These also come powder coated red if you want, for a bit more $$$:

Front Calipers
Part Number: S6232
Rear Calipers
Part Number: S6182

Also, you don't need the brake lines if yours are in good shape. Just the longer banjo bolts and crush washers.
Banjo Bolts Specs:
M10 x 1.0 thread, 18mm under head length

 

Thank you for the update and details.

 

revisiting this older thread. I know technically they shouldn't take the standard 2 pistons for the 4 pistons as a core but has anyone gotten away with it? Someone on youtube mentioned it worked for them and they took their 2 pistons. If so that an incredible deal. Hell even if i cant get the core charge back it still a really good deal lol

 

I think i saw someone over on the Z forums send back the 2 piston and had their core charge refunded. I'm not even going to bother sending anything back in, my core charges were only like $70 a piece from summit racing and I dont want to deal with any back and forth shipping in case it doesnt work out.

I recently did this upgrade with the remanufactured akebonos from Powerstop (comes powdercoated red) for the rears and from A1 Cardone in the fronts.
Total with ceramic street pads, slotted rotors, 4 calipers, F+R stoptech braided lines, and CZP adapter bracket was $1150 for those who are curious about cost.

 

I noticed the a1 Cardone calipers were way more $$ than powerstop listed on rockauto. Sucks that each company doesn't have a full set so you have to buy from both

 

Not a terrible deal
Rebuilt akebono calipers

 

Those are raw though.
