What brakes do I have?

superbase · 09-29-2016, 09:43 PM

I bought a 2013 Nismo, the calipers are red, front looks to be 2 piston and rear single piston. Is this accurate? And who makes them?

Name brand by Akebono.

They are oem brakes calipers for nismo and sports package trims.

Being that they are red, it sounds like they are most likely the stock Nismo calipers. Got a pic? Assuming they are the Akebono brand calipers used on the Sport and Nismo models, they will be 4 piston in the front and 2 piston in the rear

Yea, don't forget to add both sides. This is the Akebono 2 piston rear.

Tell your friends your brakes are made by the same company that made McLaren P1's brakes

Just kidding don't do that
