Are Akebono brake calipers good?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pads, excellent stopping power. These brake pads provide much more stopping power than the OEM Honda pads, and are about half the price. After a proper break-in, my car now stops better than it ever has before.

What are the two types of brake calipers?

Which is better Brembo or Akebono?

That said, for daily commutes…Brembo remains more expensive, with more dust generation and causing a little more wear and tear on the rotors than optimal.
