ATE or Akebono calipers?
I have a 2000 GCL I need to replace the rotors and pads on both axels . I see the pad are sold to fit either ATE or Akebono calipers - . How do I tell which one I have? Is this for the front only or does it also apply to the rear calipers. Any suggestions as to the best replacement rotors for a reasoable cost. The OEM's are junk. I assume the rotors are universal for both ATE and Akebono calipers.
Thanks Mike |
Did I post this in the wrong location or is the question just to stupid to get a answer. :dunno:

This is the right place but I don't have an answer for you. Might call the dealer and ask them how you tell..

Thanks much,
I was not aware there was a differance till I started to order the pads and all the parts sites list both ATE and Akebono calipers. The Haynes manual does not mention this at all. I guess i''ll have to pick them up at a Auot Zone or Advance as I sure don't want to order them off a web site and get the wrong ones. Thanks Mike |
My son just changed his brakes on his 99 GC. The stock front calipers are single piston units that are black in color (1999-2002) These were replaced in May of 2002 with the Akebono calipers, which are two piston and silver in color. I guess the reason for changing was a rotor warping issue. BTW - he bought after marker slotted and cross drilled rotors for front and back for around $150 on e-bay. Seem to work well. Hope this helps

They are both dual piston calipers
