[accordzoom]

I was wondering if for yr/# of doors/and trim type.. determines whether the front calipers are nissin or akebono...
im curious becaus i was sure i ordered the right pads until this morning... so help me

I don't belive it matters. I could be wrong.

[accordzoom]

It does cause theres obviously two brands,, akebono and nissin..

[arrozburner]

It does matter cuz this same problem happened to me...im not sure which is which but i'll check when i get home...i still have the ones that dont fit at home

[accordzoom]

yeah, if i need to return em for the right set, i have to do it within 30 days so plz let me know asap
by the way, yes i did get my slotted brombos and sport pads in today!
hook me up tho arroz

I'm pretty sure the 2 and 4 drs are Akebono, the Nissins were used on the Wagons.

not really... i have nissins on my accord coupe.. to check just take off one of your front tires and check the caliper... it should say NISSIN for nissin obviously, and i think ^^^ for akebono

here is how u tell.

look on the caliper itself, the outer part, if u see nissin u need a nissin pad. if u dont see nissin and some other crap like numbers or a symbol its akebono.

it all depends on what braking system was on ur car.

usually when u go buy a pad, go to the store with ur pad or when u go home compare it, there would be a noticable difference between the 2 times.

plus nissin is more expensive, and akebono is less.

i looked and saw no names on it but did see some numbers...
i guess i will check more tomm when i work on it a little
i hate the fact that i prob ordered the wrong ones* damnit
anyways we shall see

[accordztech]

it may be akebono...

what u order?

[accordzoom]

akebono

[elchulo583]

i got nissins.....

says it right on the caliper

I think if it's a akebono it's supposed to have some type of triangle......

[accordztech]

^ yea something like that

[accordzoom]

still havent checked mine, but Hopefully I see the /\
if not , im so glad i get to pay extra $$ for shipping to return and get the right ones.

by the way elchulo...
im orignally from williamsport, are you originally from around there?,. psu is like 30-45mins away from my house

[accordzoom]

so i still dont know for sure what brand my calipers are... all i see on the caliper is a bunch of numbers then an A(hopefully akebono).. haha but no nissin...
i replaced my pads before on my own..but yeah i dont remember, i do remember last time tho, that i had to take em back and get the right set..
anyways
guess we will just have to see when i take it to the shop
