Brake caliper Akebono or POWER STOP
Reviews
I bought some Power Stop DE calipers/rotors at a good price from rock auto, unfortunately they powder coat them red before they rebuild them. I knew this before buying them so today I prepped and painted them black to match the rears.
Pros: good price
Cons: powder coat them red
Must do, the WJ knuckle swap with Akebono calipers. Teves calipers are junk, and the factory XJ calipers are freakin worse!
Pros: must do, superior to others
Vehicle:
Jeep Cherokee
I have installed those and drove them super hard at the track and they did great.
Pros: great performance, easy to install
Vehicle:
Nissan
They've been on the car for 2 years and ~ 30 track hours without issue.
Pros: worked fine, no issues
I’ve beat the shit outta my z36 ones and they’ve held up great.
Pros: held up great
I installed the full power stop kit, drilled and slotted with the extreme pads and red powder coated calipers. All work very well and still look good after 13k miles or so.
Pros: work very well, look good
Mileage: 13000 km
Chrysler has a "kit" that is designed for the brake-swap (Teves -> Akebono) TSB has that everything you need apart from rotors - new calipers, brackets and pads, plus all hardware. See what you dealer's price is, when it first came out it was crazy cheap (like $100), it's a bit more now but even then when I bought the kit it was still cheaper than buying remanufactured calipers and brackets.
Pros: cheap kit, easy to install

Had full set of power stop on mine. But one rear caliper got half frozen and chewed up the caliper so I went back to stock on the rears.
Cons: caliper froze, damaged caliper
Two calipers failed in the first year. I tried to repair it when I finally took apart the seals were junk and they had never been put in properly at manufacturer. The pistons had rust on them! Understanding manufacturing can go bad. Now today I heard a grinding and pulled my wheels off my Jeep only to find a third caliper had frozen and completely ripped through the brake pad and damaged the rotor. Not to mention all the paint that was so pretty on these things has peeled off.
Cons: caliper failure, rust, paint peeled
Mileage: 5000 km
My power stop calipers rotted out internally after a year. Had new brake fluid and everything yet they broke
Cons: calipers rotted out internally
