Brake caliper Akebono or Brembo

Brembo Brake caliper

Yeah I dropped to 19s on mine and it's night and day difference for daily driving. Went with 19x8.5 ET45 and 255/50R19 tires - plenty of clearance over the Brembos and the ride is way more civilized. Still looks good too, the 21s were just brutal on city streets

Pros: ride is way more civilized
Cons: 21s were just brutal

Im actually in the middle of working on a unique BBK for my E38 and have been looking at rotor/caliper options, I think this may be a decent option for you-958 Cayenne rear brembos.

Pros: decent option

Akebono Brake caliper

The little non sport Akebono calipers on q50’s are know for warping the OEM rotors. I went through 2 sets of OEM and kept getting the vibration when braking from highway speed before eventually buying some shtty Chinese “drilled and slotted” aftermarket’s. Never had the issue since.

Pros: no vibration when braking
Cons: warping OEM rotors
Vehicle: Infiniti Q50

I’ve been considering new calipers for my Evo 4 (GSR) as well to replace my stock ones since they’re in pretty rough shape, but the only swap I’ve been able to find that is documented at all is the Evo 5-9 Brembos

Cons: rare and expensive
Vehicle: Mitsubishi
