Default Brake Caliper thoughts...

Morning all,

I'm looking at my front calipers of the Z and shake my head every time i see them.

The powdercoat is missing near the bleeder, and faded everywhere else on the caliper. The dealership said it was a "bad bleed job." Yeah, that's it... the bleeder is the issue here.

They started black with white text.
They are now gray with yellow text.

1. How much for a set of Akebono front calipers?
2. Is there such thing as a better caliper option?
3. Yes they can be reconditioned, but that sounds like work for someone else. Track duty + Chicago winter salt = Death to brake appearance.

Thanks!
