Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

        if it does't say "NISSIN" on the caliper, then you have Akebono. The three triangles are the Akebono symbol.

            If the caliper mounting bolts are 17mm they are Akebono.
            If the caliper mounting bolts are 14mm they are Nissin.

              Most sedans have Akebono, most coupes have Nissin.

                    yeah if you can't find the word nissin on them, then they're akebono.

                      All of the rear cb calipers are made by Nissin.

                              Hawk HPS....low dust, barely any and very high fade resistance and no squealing. Excellent pads.

                              EBC Green Stuff are good too, but they shed a lot more brake dust than the Hawk HPS
