Brake caliper Akebono or WILWOOD
I went with Akebonos with two-piece rotors. No complaints here.
Pros: no complaints
For brakes, I went with Willwood 4 piston calipers with 10.1in rotors and a disk conversion in the rear. So, now I can stop, and have a lil less scary ride.
Pros: less scary ride
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I bought used akebonos work awsome, way better than stock, stopping performance is substantially better.
Pros: better stopping, works awesome
I run these calipers and track my s13. They are great. I heard from other racing guys that the 4 pots make the pads wear in diagonal; they switched to the 6 pots ans it solved the issue. They run slick tyres, i only use UHP. I use DTC60 from hawk. I have custom made brackets and hats, with 315 x 32mm rotors.
Pros: great performance, solved wear issue
Cons: pads wear diagonally (4-pot)
Vehicle:
Nissan
The rear brakes are 16v rear discs and willwood 4 piston calipers up front from tech53.
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
I put willwoods on my track/autox supercharged NB. They are great, the extra grab, and need to use less pressure is great. I highly suggest the upgrade.
Pros: great grab, less pressure
Vehicle:
Mazda
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
Vehicle:
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Part number: 05093174AD
i have 16" RS's and my willwoods barely and i mean BARELY clear with a 10.5mm spacer...
Cons: barely clear
