I have the Cardone part numbers for Akebonos that you can get either at Advance Auto or Amazon. Give me a minute and I'll track them down. Oh & you'll need rotors also...

I was going to, until the 2012 (base) got totaled. My 2015 is a Sport Tech, so it has the painted Akebonos on it.

I was going to get these, then paint them using the caliper painting kit that Advance Auto sells, bake them in the oven to cure the paint, put Akebono decals on, then clear coat and bake again. If you buy the calipers from the local parts store, there is usually a 90 day period to return the cores, so depending on how long a powder coater shop would take to powder coat the ones you get from the store. I imagine you would have to replace the seals after powder coating, with the caliper paint kit, you won't have to. I do know that the guys at the chain parts stores aren't bright enough to know that the base calipers don't belong in the box that the rebuild Akebono's come in... but the rebuilder will figure it out...

Doesn't hold a candle to the I-16 1000. Everyday at 5:00pm Mon-Friday.

Oh yeah, it's how many people can go 90mph at one time whilst tailgating. Nut Jobs....

That sounds more like a high speed Demolition Derby than the bonified car race that I get into everyday... ... Are you sure you ain't been exposed to too many exhaust fumes...

They drive like that around here also... the problem is that NONE of them are Richard Petty, Mario Andretti, Cale Yarborough or Dale Earnhardt.... take your pick...

NASCAR has gone to crap since they introduced 'segments' and 'competition yellows (to close up the pack)'. WTH ever happened to let them run like hell....

They lost me in the late 70's. When they started to spec parts. No big blocks, no aero like the SuperBirds.

You don't know what you missed.

Spoiler · 02-04-2019, 04:37 PM

Well, I didn't say it was my first go 'round in the 2nd grade... I had to take that one a few times...

I feel compelled to tell you that because I have never been one to lie or make stuff up..

That's just not me...

So.........you was challenged a little.

In the 70's. I had hair past my shoulders, a beard to the middle of my chest. To no hair and beard. To being back to long hair and beard again.

Living apart time in Sarajevo.

Hippie style...
