Base brakes to akebonos..how happy?

I keep seeing the Infiniti akebono brakes for sale on eBay. They seem to look identical except for floor and of course the logo, does anyone know if there is a difference? They seem to go for less.

They are the same but powder coating or correctly painting them will make them as much or more than the Nissan branded calipers. Just buy the $850 set off Kday in the Classified section. Get all the hardlines from him too.
