🛑 Akebono 4-Piston Front Caliper
Akebono's 4-piston single-piece aluminium caliper is the OEM choice for Toyota, Lexus, Subaru WRX STI, and Mitsubishi Lancer EVO high-performance models. Its stiff monoblock body reduces flex under hard braking and the ultra-low pad compressibility ensures precise pedal feel. The Akebono caliper is often retained in motorsport applications because its thermal performance rivals aftermarket alternatives.
